WW2 Canadian Calgary Highlanders Battledress Slip-On Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Calgary Highlanders Battledress Slip-On Insignia Single is an original uniform component from the Second World War, associated with the Calgary Highlanders regiment of the Canadian Army. This slip-on insignia was typically worn on the epaulettes of the battledress blouse to denote regimental affiliation. Constructed from khaki or dark green fabric, the insignia features machine-embroidered or printed lettering identifying the Calgary Highlanders. These slip-ons were standard issue and formed part of the Canadian Army’s efforts to distinguish between different units during service and training. The slip-on design allowed for easy removal or replacement, accommodating changes in assignment or laundry needs. Items of this nature reflect period-specific materials and construction methods typical of Canadian military insignia from the 1940s. Collectors and historians value such pieces for their authenticity, as they provide insight into the organization and identification practices within Commonwealth military forces during World War II.
