WW2 Canadian The Elgin Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

This item is a single canvas shoulder title insignia from The Elgin Regiment, a Canadian armoured regiment with service during the Second World War. Constructed from khaki canvas material, this insignia was designed to be sewn onto the uniform, typically on the upper sleeve, to indicate regimental affiliation. The designation “The Elgin Regiment” is clearly displayed in embroidered or printed lettering, consistent with standard Canadian Army insignia practices of the era. Shoulder titles served both identification and esprit de corps purposes within the Canadian military. The Elgin Regiment was mobilized for active service in 1940 and later converted to an armoured role, taking part in various training and operational duties in Canada and Britain during the conflict. This artifact represents a component of the regiment’s distinctive insignia as worn by its personnel during World War II. It is a suitable example of Canadian uniform accoutrements used during the period.
