WW2 Canadian Calgary Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single British Made

The WW2 Canadian Calgary Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single, British Made, is a period-original cloth formation identifier worn by members of the Calgary Regiment during the Second World War. This shoulder title features crimson embroidered text reading “CALGARY REGIMENT” on a dark blue wool background, consistent with the insignia design used by Canadian armoured units at the time. As indicated on the title, this insignia was manufactured in Britain specifically for the Canadian Army Overseas, a common practice during the war to meet the requirements of deployed troops. The Calgary Regiment, part of the Canadian Armoured Corps, participated in significant campaigns, notably the Dieppe Raid in 1942 and operations in Italy and Northwest Europe. The shoulder title was typically stitched onto the upper sleeve of the battledress blouse, signifying the wearer’s regimental affiliation. The design and construction reflect wartime manufacturing standards and the distinct identity of Canadian armoured formations.
