WW2 Canadian Army CANADA Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair British Made

This is a matching pair of World War II-era Canadian Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) Officer’s shoulder titles, constructed from bullion wire. The insignia consists of the word “CANADA” rendered in hand-embroidered gold bullion thread on a navy blue wool backing, consistent with officer-grade distinguishing marks used by the RCN during the Second World War. These shoulder titles were typically affixed to the upper sleeves of naval uniforms, signifying national service and rank within the Commonwealth naval forces. The reverse sides retain the original black cloth backing and exhibit period-appropriate stitching. Bullion wire embroidery was reserved for officer ranks, distinguishing these insignia from machine-embroidered versions worn by non-commissioned personnel. WW2 Canadian naval shoulder titles such as this pair were issued to officers serving both at sea and ashore throughout the wartime period. Their design reflects the regulations and uniform standards employed by the Canadian military during the 1939–1945 conflict.
