WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Sergeant Tunic Grouping With Hat Tie and Lanyard

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Sergeant Tunic Grouping includes an original uniform tunic, accompanying hat, tie, and lanyard. Established in 1941, the CWAC enabled women to serve in non-combat roles within the Canadian Army during the Second World War. This grouping represents the standard service dress for a Sergeant within the Corps, identifiable by the correct rank insignia on the tunic sleeves. The tunic is constructed from wartime wool and features original period buttons and emblems. The included forage cap displays appropriate CWAC insignia, while the tie and lanyard reflect regulation accessories for Corps personnel. Such groupings were worn by women fulfilling roles in administration, clerical work, transport, and other essential military support functions in Canada and overseas. Items like this are studied for their role in the history of women’s service in the Canadian military and provide material evidence of wartime uniforms and organizational structure.
