Royal Canadian Postal Corps Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The Royal Canadian Postal Corps Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two matching fabric insignia designed to be worn on the uniform shoulders of personnel belonging to the Royal Canadian Postal Corps. Each insignia features the corps’ name in embroidered lettering, typically using yellow or gold thread on a dark blue or black background, following the standard pattern for Canadian Army shoulder titles of the mid-twentieth century. The Royal Canadian Postal Corps was established in 1946 and was responsible for managing mail and postal services for Canadian military personnel, both in Canada and overseas, until integration into the Canadian Forces in 1968. These shoulder titles served as a means of identification, denoting the wearer’s corps affiliation. The insignia are typically constructed from cloth and were sewn onto the upper sleeves of the service dress uniform. Such items are of interest to collectors of Canadian military insignia and historical uniforms.
