WW2 Canadian RCASC Battledress Jacket

This is an original World War II-era Canadian RCASC (Royal Canadian Army Service Corps) battledress jacket. The RCASC played a vital role in supporting Canadian and Allied operations during the war, primarily focusing on transport and logistical functions. This jacket follows the standard patterns adopted by Canadian forces at the time, typically constructed of heavy khaki wool and featuring a closed-neck collar, two chest pockets, and a button front. Distinctive RCASC shoulder titles or insignia, when present, identify corps affiliation. The jacket’s interior may bear Canadian military production stamps, size markings, and manufacturer labels. WW2 Canadian battledress uniforms were designed for durability and practicality in the field, reflecting both British influences and Canadian manufacturing standards of the period. This piece represents tangible historical evidence of the Canadian Army’s organization and duties during World War II, highlighting the essential behind-the-lines work necessary for operational success.
