WW1 Canadian CEF CANADA Officers Curved Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

This pair of WW1 Canadian CEF CANADA Officers Curved Shoulder Titles Insignia represents original military insignia worn by commissioned officers of the Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Each insignia is constructed in a curved pattern, designed to fit the contour of the uniform’s shoulder strap. The raised “CANADA” lettering indicates national affiliation, a standard marking for overseas service uniforms between 1914 and 1918. Typically fabricated from brass or bronze, these titles were attached to the uniform using lug fastenings on the reverse. Shoulder titles such as these served as important identifiers for both branch and nationality among Commonwealth forces. This pairing offers insight into the uniform regulations and insignia practices of Canadian forces in the Great War. The condition, material, and form are consistent with period-issue insignia and reflect the standardized designs employed by the CEF for officer ranks during WWI.
