The Canadian Army 67 Centennial Pith Helmet, size 7, is a military headgear item issued to commemorate the Canadian Centennial in 1967. This helmet features a light khaki-colored shell constructed from pressed cork covered in cotton twill fabric, a design influenced by traditional colonial-era pith helmets. The helmet is fitted with a leather sweatband inside and a chinstrap for secure wear. On the left side, it bears the distinct badge marking the 1967 Centennial, symbolizing 100 years of Canadian Confederation. Worn primarily by ceremonial units, this pith helmet was not intended for combat use but rather for parade and dress occasions, reflecting Canada’s historical ties to Commonwealth military traditions. The size 7 marking indicates the measurement suited to a 22-inch head circumference. The Canadian Army 67 Centennial Pith Helmet is characteristic of mid-20th century ceremonial military attire in Canada and holds relevance to collectors specializing in Canadian Forces memorabilia.
