The RCA Cap Badge Red Flash 1945-1969_2021_05_03
The Canadian Army (Overseas) authorized a red flash to be worn behind the RCA cap badge on the khaki beret in April 1945. The flash disappeared gradually from wear in the late 1950s and 1960s as the Army changed its garrison and ceremonial headdress. During its twenty or so years of wear, the red flash added colour to otherwise drab khaki uniforms, improved the appearance and visibility of the RCA cap badge and enhanced Regimental esprit de corps. |
