WW2 Royal Canadian Dragoons Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Royal Canadian Dragoons Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original uniform patch worn by members of the Royal Canadian Dragoons during the Second World War. This insignia consists of a rectangular strip of khaki or olive drab canvas with the unit name “ROYAL CANADIAN DRAGOONS” machine-embroidered in red capital letters. The patch was intended to be sewn onto the upper sleeve of the battledress blouse, indicating the soldier’s regimental affiliation. The Royal Canadian Dragoons, established in 1883, served as an armored regiment and played a significant role in various campaigns, including in Italy and Northwest Europe during World War II. Canvas shoulder titles such as this example were standard issue for Canadian forces, providing a practical and durable form of identification in the field. This single unit is typical of the type used by Canadian troops between 1939 and 1945.
