WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Cap Badge

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Cap Badge is a distinctive and historical artifact symbolizing the contributions of Canadian women during World War II. This badge was proudly worn by members of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps, an integral part of the Canadian military established in 1941 to allow women to serve in various non-combatant roles, such as clerks, cooks, mechanics, and drivers. Featuring an intricate design often incorporating the CWAC insignia, national symbols, and the motto “Parva Sub Ingenti” meaning “The small under the protection of the great”, the cap badge served not only as a piece of uniform but also as a token of honor, unity, and dedication. Collectors and historians value these badges for their craftsmanship and the powerful story they represent about the vital role of women in supporting the war effort and shaping Canada’s military history.
