WW2 British Royal Navy Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 British Royal Navy Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original uniform accessory used by personnel of the Royal Navy during the Second World War. This cloth insignia was typically worn on the shoulder of the naval uniform to denote the wearer’s branch and affiliation. The design features the words “ROYAL NAVY” embroidered in white thread on a dark blue or black background, reflecting the traditional colors of the Royal Navy. Measuring approximately several inches in length, the shoulder title was often sewn onto the upper sleeve or attached using specific uniform fastenings. Such insignia served both an identification and organizational function, helping to clearly distinguish Royal Navy personnel within the armed forces. These items are commonly found as singles, often removed from service uniforms or retained as mementos. They are regarded as representative artifacts of British naval history and uniform design from the World War II period.
