WW2 Canadian Nursing Sisters Belt Buckle

This is a World War II-era belt buckle issued to Canadian Nursing Sisters who served in the Canadian military medical services. The buckle is typically constructed from brass or a similarly durable metal, featuring a rectangular frame with a central emblem. The design often incorporates the Queen’s crown and the intertwined initials “RCAMC” (Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps) or other relevant insignia, denoting the wearer’s affiliation. Nursing Sisters played a vital role during the conflict, providing care and support to wounded soldiers both in Canada and overseas. The belt buckle formed part of the standard uniform, serving both a functional and symbolic purpose. Its construction reflects the military specifications of the period, with attention to durability and clarity of insignia. Items such as this are of interest for their association with the service of women in the Canadian armed forces and as examples of wartime military uniform accessories.
