Canadian British Columbia Dragoons BCD Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The Canadian British Columbia Dragoons (BCD) Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two matching metal badges worn on the uniform to designate regimental affiliation. These insignias were produced for the British Columbia Dragoons, an armoured regiment of the Canadian Army Reserve with a history dating to 1908. Each badge is typically constructed from brass or a similar metal alloy, featuring the letters “BCD” in raised capitals. The shoulder titles were affixed to the uniform’s shoulder straps, serving both as identification and as a mark of regimental pride. The design and manufacture of such insignia adhered to Canadian military standards of the period, ensuring uniformity and durability. This pair exemplifies standard issue items used during the 20th century by members of the regiment. The British Columbia Dragoons have participated in multiple campaigns, giving items associated with the unit historical relevance for collectors and researchers of Canadian military history.
