WW2 Canadian RCN Navy Medical Officer’s Tunic and Peak Cap Hat

This Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) Medical Officer’s Tunic and Peak Cap Hat set originates from the Second World War period. The tunic is constructed from navy blue wool and features brass RCN buttons, a four-pocket front, and rank lace on the cuffs denoting Medical Officer status. The collar bears insignia appropriate to medical personnel, and interior lining is consistent with mid-20th century military tailoring standards. Accompanying the tunic is a matching peak cap, displaying the RCN officer’s cap badge and gilt chinstrap, with the crown and anchor emblem characteristic of Canadian naval headwear during WWII. The set provides a representative example of uniforms issued to medical officers serving in the Royal Canadian Navy, reflecting the dress regulations and insignia of the era. Such items were typically worn by officers responsible for the medical care of naval personnel both ashore and at sea, and are of interest for study or collection in the context of Canada’s naval history.
