WW2 Canadian The Regina Rifle Regiment Khaki Beret Dated 1945 Size 7 1/8

This is a khaki beret issued to the Regina Rifle Regiment of Canada during the Second World War. The beret is dated 1945 and comes in size 7 1/8. It is constructed from khaki wool and features a black leather sweatband along the interior edge. The year of manufacture is stamped inside, along with the size marking. The Regina Rifle Regiment was part of the Canadian Army and participated in several key operations during World War II, including the Normandy landings. Khaki berets were a standard item of dress for Canadian troops toward the end of the conflict, replacing earlier forms of headgear. This piece is representative of late-war uniform adaptations and provides insight into the regimental dress standards of the period. The beret remains an example of authentic Canadian military clothing issued to infantry personnel in 1945.
