WW2 Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps Staff Officers Service Dress Collar Tabs

WW2 Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps Staff Officers Service Dress Collar Tabs are a pair of insignia worn by officers of the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps during the Second World War. These tabs were part of the standard service dress uniform and signified the wearer’s corps affiliation and staff officer status. Each collar tab typically features a dark maroon or burgundy base, representing the medical branch, with metallic embroidery or wire work depicting the corps badge or relevant insignia. The construction often includes high-quality materials consistent with officer-grade insignia of the era. These tabs were usually affixed to the collar points of the service dress tunic and formed a distinct part of Canadian military dress regulations between 1939 and 1945. Items of this type are of interest for the study of military uniforms, insignia development, and the organization of the Canadian armed forces during the Second World War.
