WW2 Canadian Infantry Corps Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Infantry Corps Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is a cloth uniform insignia worn by members of the Canadian Infantry Corps during the Second World War. This example consists of a rectangular strip made from khaki canvas material, with the words “CANADIAN INFANTRY CORPS” machine-embroidered in red thread. Designed to be sewn onto the upper sleeve of the battle dress blouse, these shoulder titles served as a primary means of unit identification for soldiers. The use of canvas and utilitarian construction reflects wartime manufacturing practices, prioritizing durability and economy. Canadian Army shoulder titles, such as this one, were standardized across various corps and branches, helping to distinguish personnel affiliations within the larger organization. The single title offered here represents a typical issue item, widely distributed from the formation of the Canadian Infantry Corps in 1942 until the war’s end. This piece illustrates standard Canadian military insignia as used during the conflict.
