WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair represents the standard uniform insignia worn by members of the CWAC during the Second World War. Established in 1941, the CWAC was created to allow Canadian women to serve in non-combat military roles, providing crucial support in administrative, technical, and logistical positions both at home and overseas. Each shoulder title in this pair consists of a distinctive arched cloth badge, typically in khaki wool, with the letters “C.W.A.C.” embroidered in red, signifying affiliation with the Canadian Women’s Army Corps. These insignia were sewn onto the upper sleeves of the service uniform, identifying the wearer’s unit and contributing to uniformity and esprit de corps within the CWAC. Original examples such as this pair are representative of official issue and are collected for their historical association with Canada’s wartime contribution and the evolving role of women in the armed forces.
