WW2 Canadian RCASC Khaki Beret Size 7 1/8 Dated 1945

The WW2 Canadian RCASC Khaki Beret, size 7 1/8, dated 1945, is an original military headgear issued to personnel of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps during the Second World War. Constructed from khaki wool, the beret features a leather sweatband and a cloth liner, typical of Canadian army headwear from this period. The interior is clearly marked with the date “1945” and the size “7 1/8.” This style of beret was worn as part of the standard uniform by members of the RCASC, an essential logistical corps responsible for supply and transport operations within the Canadian Army. The khaki color reflects Commonwealth practices of the era, prioritizing practicality in combat and field use. This item represents a tangible example of mid-20th century Canadian military uniform, notable for its association with service personnel active at the close of World War II.
