WW2 Canadian Governor General’s Footguards Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Governor General’s Footguards Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original piece of military uniform insignia used by members of the Governor General’s Foot Guards during the Second World War. This shoulder title is constructed from khaki-colored canvas with red embroidered lettering spelling out the unit designation. These insignia were typically worn on the upper sleeves of battledress blouses as a means of unit identification. The Governor General’s Foot Guards is a Canadian Army Primary Reserve regiment with roots dating back to the 19th century, and during WW2, its members served both at home and abroad. The single insignia reflects individual issue, as soldiers generally received insignia separately rather than in pairs. This item represents the practical style of wartime Canadian military insignia, which prioritized durability and legibility. It is an example of the standard issue items that would have been worn by Canadian soldiers assigned to this storied regiment during the conflict.
