WW2 Canadian First Hussars Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian First Hussars Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original period artifact used by members of the First Hussars regiment of the Canadian Army during the Second World War. This shoulder title is constructed from red canvas material and features the regiment’s name, “FIRST HUSSARS,” embroidered in white thread. The insignia was worn on the upper sleeve of the battledress uniform to identify the wearer’s unit. The First Hussars, a distinguished Canadian armoured regiment, played a significant role in major operations such as D-Day and the Normandy campaign. Shoulder titles formed an integral part of Commonwealth military uniforms, providing clear regimental identification. This example reflects the standardized style and materials used in Canadian military insignia production during the 1939-1945 period. Measuring approximately the standard issue size for shoulder titles, it illustrates the functional and recognizable design employed across Canadian armoured corps units during the war.
