WW2 Canadian RCAF Officers Commission and Certificate of Apprecation

This item is a World War II Canadian Royal Canadian Air Force Officers Commission accompanied by a Certificate of Appreciation. The commission is an official government document, typically printed on high-quality paper and bearing the Canadian coat of arms, issued to confirm the appointment of an individual as an officer in the RCAF during the wartime period. Such documents generally include the officer’s name, rank, date of commissioning, and signatures of relevant authorities. The accompanying Certificate of Appreciation was commonly issued in recognition of service rendered by RCAF personnel during World War II. This certificate would often feature official insignia, the recipient’s name, and signatures or printed names of military officials expressing formal thanks on behalf of the government. These documents reflect both the administrative procedures of military service in Canada during the 1939–1945 period and the nation’s acknowledgment of individual contributions during the conflict. They are pertinent for collectors and researchers of Canadian military history.
