WW2 Canadian Chaplain Large Size Button

The WW2 Canadian Chaplain Large Size Button is an original uniform accessory issued to military chaplains serving in the Canadian forces during the Second World War. Measuring approximately 25mm in diameter, this button is distinguished by its prominent size and specific design elements unique to chaplaincy service. Typically manufactured from brass, it often features a gilt finish and bears insignia such as a cross or other religious symbol integral to the chaplain’s role within the armed forces. The reverse side is usually stamped with a manufacturer’s mark and is fitted with a shank for secure attachment to the uniform. These buttons were worn on service dress tunics and overcoats, and their distinct design allowed for immediate identification of chaplain personnel. This item represents a piece of Canadian military uniform history and reflects the official recognition given to military chaplains during the period of 1939–1945.
