WW2 Canadian Toronto Scottish Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Toronto Scottish Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth formation badge used by members of the Toronto Scottish Regiment during the Second World War. Produced in red embroidery on khaki canvas, this shoulder title was typically worn on the upper sleeve of the service dress or battle dress uniform to identify regimental affiliation. The design features the regiment’s name, “TORONTO SCOTTISH,” in clearly stitched, uppercase lettering. As standard practice for Commonwealth forces in the period, canvas shoulder titles were intended to be both durable and easy to attach. The Toronto Scottish Regiment, an infantry unit of the Canadian Army Reserve, served with distinction in multiple theaters during WWII. Insignia such as this example played an essential role in identifying soldiers within mixed or multinational units. This piece is representative of wartime Canadian military insignia and reflects standard patterns of uniform identification used throughout the conflict.
