A Canadian military sleeve insignia mounted on khaki cotton fabric with a rectangular shoulder slot for uniform attachment. The central red shield patch bears the word “CANADA” embroidered in gold above a gold maple leaf flanked by a white laurel wreath.
This insignia served as a national identifier for Canadian personnel, typically worn in conjunction with regimental or corps titles during the postwar and early Cold War period. The khaki backing suggests it was intended for service dress or summer uniform use, contrasting with the darker olive versions used later.
