WRCNS Cap badges
The WRCNS (Womens Royal Canadian Naval Service) was commenced in 1942 & ran until disbandment in 1946. Altho nominally part of the RCN, it was administered as a separate force with its own organizational, rank structure & administration.
Their badges were identical the those of the WRNS, that is, their insignia was embroidered in blue.
Example below a WRCNS Officer's cap badge.
Note: one sees variants in this badge, especially in the shades of the blue embroidery, it can be quite bright or very dark, also the colour fades with exposure to weather & time.
