WW2 Canadian Nursing Sisters Belt Buckle

The WW2 Canadian Nursing Sisters Belt Buckle is a distinctive item of uniform insignia worn by members of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps during the Second World War. Designed specifically for female military nurses, known as Nursing Sisters, this brass belt buckle served as both a functional component and a symbol of their official status. The buckle typically features the insignia of the Canadian Army Medical Corps, often including motifs such as the Rod of Asclepius or the Canadian crown, denoting medical service within the Canadian armed forces. Issued as part of the standard uniform, the belt buckle helped distinguish Nursing Sisters from other personnel and reflected their essential role in wartime medical care. Measuring approximately 6 cm in width, it is constructed to fit a standard issue waist belt. Today, original examples are valued by collectors of military memorabilia for their historical association with the contribution of Canadian women to the war effort.
