WW2 Canadian 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards 4 P.L.D.G Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards (4 P.L.D.G.) Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia is a distinctive uniform patch associated with the Canadian Army’s reconnaissance regiment during the Second World War. This particular example consists of a single, arched, khaki canvas tab with red embroidered text reading “4 P.L.D.G.,” representing the unit name. The shoulder title was typically sewn onto the upper sleeve of the battledress jacket, serving as a means of identification for members of the 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, who played a significant role in reconnaissance and armored operations in the Italian Campaign and Northwest Europe. The use of fabric shoulder titles became common during WWII as a practical and durable method of denoting regimental affiliation. Artifacts such as these provide a direct link to Canadian military history and the specific contributions of the regiment within the broader context of the Allied forces during the conflict.
