A Canadian Army sleeve insignia assembly mounted on olive-green uniform fabric with an extended tab and buttonhole for attachment. The upper arc patch, embroidered in blue on red, reads “ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS.” Below it is a cream shield patch printed with a red and gold crown and the word “COMMONWEALTH” embroidered in gold beneath it.
The patches are sewn in standardized formation and represent a member of the Royal Canadian Engineers (RCE), likely serving in a Commonwealth force contingent, such as the postwar Korean War Commonwealth Division. The insignia’s structure and fabric backing are typical of mid-20th century Canadian military uniforms.
