The WW2 Canadian Army Battledress, Size 10, dated 1944, is a standard-issue uniform jacket used by Canadian forces during the Second World War. Constructed from durable wool serge in a khaki brown shade, this battledress reflects the practical design adopted by Commonwealth militaries of the era. The jacket features a button front closure, two pleated chest pockets with buttoned flaps, epaulettes, and concealed waist adjustment tabs. The inside is stamped with the size designation “10” and manufacturer markings, along with the 1944 production date, indicating wartime manufacture. Such battledress uniforms were worn both in training and combat, including by units participating in major campaigns in Europe. This example offers a representation of standard Canadian military attire during the mid-war period, illustrating the materials, construction, and features typical of 1940s service uniforms. The battledress remains of interest to collectors and those studying Canadian military history.
