WW2 Canadian Carleton and York Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Carleton and York Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth formation badge issued during the Second World War. This insignia identifies soldier affiliation with the Carleton and York Regiment, an infantry unit of the Canadian Army formed from the amalgamation of the Carleton Light Infantry and the York Regiment in 1936. The shoulder title typically features embroidered yellow or gold lettering spelling “CARLETON & YORK” on a dark blue or black background, designed to be sewn onto the uniform’s shoulder area. These badges were worn by enlisted personnel and officers to indicate their regimental association within the structure of the Canadian military during the war. The Carleton and York Regiment served in multiple theaters, including the Italian Campaign and Northwest Europe. This single shoulder title provides collectors and researchers with a tangible reference to the regiment’s wartime history and the system of unit identification used by the Canadian Army during the 1939-1945 conflict.
