The WW2 Canadian Grenadier Guards Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth badge worn by members of the Canadian Grenadier Guards during the Second World War. This title insignia was typically sewn onto the upper sleeve of the battledress uniform, serving as an identifier for the regiment. Constructed from red felt with the regiment’s name embroidered in yellow thread, the insignia features the text “CANADIAN GRENADIER GUARDS” in capital letters.
