WW2 Canadian Regina Rifle Regiment Officer’s Battledress Jacket Size 8 Dated 1943

This item is a World War II Canadian Regina Rifle Regiment Officer’s Battledress Jacket, size 8, dated 1943. The battledress jacket, officially adopted by Commonwealth forces in the 1930s, was the standard combat uniform for Canadian officers during the conflict. This example features a khaki wool construction typical of the period, with original insignia denoting affiliation to the Regina Rifle Regiment, a Canadian infantry unit that served during major campaigns including the Normandy landings. The date stamp inside the jacket confirms its 1943 issue, and size 8 markings provide detailed sizing information relevant for historical uniform collectors. Officer variants of battledress often displayed higher-quality tailoring and additional insignia, distinguishing them from enlisted versions. This jacket reflects authentic period wear and specification, forming a representative example of Canadian army officer uniforms employed in active service during the Second World War.
