WW2 Royal Canadian Army Service Corps RCASC Tropical Slip-Ons Insignia Pair

The WW2 Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) Tropical Slip-Ons Insignia Pair represents issue uniform insignia worn by members of the RCASC during service in tropical climates. Each slip-on is constructed from khaki drill fabric, designed to fit over uniform epaulets. The insignia features blue embroidered lettering, “RCASC,” denoting the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps, a branch responsible for transport, supply, and logistical support within the Canadian Army during the Second World War. This pair reflects adaptations made for personnel serving in warmer environments, where traditional wool insignia would be unsuitable. The tropical slip-ons were part of the standard tropical uniform ensemble and were typically worn on battle dress or khaki drill blouses. These insignia illustrate the evolution of Canadian military uniform components to accommodate different theaters of war and operational requirements. The pair provides insight into the logistical elements supporting the Canadian military effort during WW2.
