WW2 Canadian RCCS 1st Corps Battledress Jacket C Broad Arrowed With Good Conduct Stripe

The WW2 Canadian RCCS 1st Corps Battledress Jacket is an original uniform component worn by a member of the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals during the Second World War. This battledress jacket features insignia denoting service with the 1st Canadian Corps, including cloth formation patches and rank insignia as appropriate. The jacket bears the “C” broad arrow marking, indicating Canadian manufacture and government ownership. Notably, this example includes a Good Conduct stripe on the lower sleeve, awarded for exemplary service. Constructed from standard-issue khaki wool, the jacket has a button front closure and pleated chest pockets with buttoned flaps. The piece reflects the standard design utilized by Canadian forces during the war, showing the utilitarian and practical approach to military clothing at the time. This represented both the soldier’s branch and rank, playing a key role in daily service dress and official functions throughout the wartime period.
