WW2 Canadian Lake Superior Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Lake Superior Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth patch worn by members of the Lake Superior Regiment during the Second World War. This insignia features the regiment’s name, “LAKE SUPERIOR REGT,” embroidered in white text on a curved blue background, designed to be attached to the upper sleeve of the standard battle dress uniform. Such shoulder titles were introduced in the early years of the war as a method of identifying unit affiliation within the Canadian Army. The Lake Superior Regiment, mobilized for active service in 1940, served primarily as an infantry unit and was later re-designated as the Lake Superior Regiment (Motor) in 1944 due to its conversion to a motorized infantry role. Original shoulder titles from this period are valued for their historical association with Canadian participation in major campaigns in Northwest Europe. This single insignia exemplifies standard wartime manufacture techniques and materials.
