Royal Canadian Regiment RCR Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two matching badges, typically worn on the shoulder epaulettes of military uniforms to denote affiliation with the Royal Canadian Regiment. These metal insignia feature the regiment’s initials, “RCR,” rendered in a plain, serifed font. Originating from a long-standing tradition within Commonwealth militaries, shoulder titles serve as an important element of regimental identity and facilitate recognition among units. The RCR, founded in 1883, is one of Canada’s oldest regular force infantry regiments. The design and material may vary according to the era of production, with examples commonly produced in brass or white metal. Such insignia were commonly used throughout the 20th century, notably during both World Wars and the postwar period. Each shoulder title in this pair retains the original mounting lugs or loops, intended for secure attachment to a uniform’s fabric. This pair represents a standard issue distinguishing mark for RCR personnel.
