Canadian Royal Hamilton Light Infantry Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

This item consists of a matched pair of Canadian Royal Hamilton Light Infantry shoulder titles insignia. The titles are typically worn on the upper shoulder of the uniform, denoting regimental affiliation. Each insignia is constructed from brass, featuring the raised wording “ROYAL HAMILTON LIGHT INFANTRY” in an arched format. These shoulder titles were issued to members of the regiment and are associated with mid-20th-century Canadian military uniforms, particularly during the Second World War era. The Royal Hamilton Light Infantry (Wentworth Regiment) is a distinguished reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army, with a history dating back to the 19th century. The insignia were attached to the uniform, usually by means of lugs and split pins (not always present), serving both identification and ceremonial functions. This pair represents an example of period-correct uniform accoutrements used by Canadian forces, and illustrates typical design elements found on Commonwealth shoulder titles of the era.
