WW2 Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps RCOC Canvas Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW2 Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps (RCOC) Canvas Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two uniform patches designated for members of the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps during the Second World War. Each insignia is made from khaki canvas material, machine-embroidered with the white “RCOC” lettering, and shaped in the standard arc or rectangle for use on the upper sleeve of the service uniform. These shoulder titles served to identify personnel assigned to the Ordnance Corps, the branch responsible for the supply, storage, and maintenance of military equipment and munitions for the Canadian Army. During WW2, such insignia were issued as part of standard dress and were typically sewn directly onto battle dress blouses. This pair typifies the construction style and materials used by Canadian forces at the time, reflecting period-accurate manufacturing techniques and design. Items like these provide context for Canadian military organization and insignia practices during the mid-20th century.
