WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Officers Half Spats Size 9

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Officers Half Spats, Size 9, are uniform accessories issued to members of the CWAC during the Second World War. Designed for use by commissioned officers, these khaki fabric spats were worn over the shoes and lower trousers as part of the regulation dress uniform. The half spats fasten securely around the ankle, providing a neat and formal appearance while offering some protection for footwear. This pair is manufactured to fit a size 9 shoe. CWAC personnel served in a variety of non-combatant roles both in Canada and overseas, and their uniforms were closely modeled after those of the Canadian Army, with modifications for women’s service. Period items such as these represent the distinctive dress and contributions of Canadian women in the armed forces during WW2. The half spats are also indicative of the broader trend toward standardized and practical field dress in mid-20th-century military organizations.
