8th Canadian Hussars Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The 8th Canadian Hussars Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two metal badges designed to be worn on the uniform shoulders of members of the 8th Canadian Hussars (Princess Louise’s). The insignia typically features the unit abbreviation, “8 CH,” displayed in raised letters on a curved bar, reflecting the regiment’s official designation. Manufactured during the 20th century, these titles serve as identification for personnel belonging to this armored regiment of the Canadian Army. The 8th Canadian Hussars, established in 1848, has a distinguished history of service in both World Wars and subsequent peacekeeping missions. The shoulder title insignia is generally affixed to the epaulettes of dress or service uniforms using lugs and clutch fasteners or tangs. This pair represents standard issue insignia and is a commonly encountered example of Canadian military identifiers from this period. Such items are of interest to collectors and historians specializing in Canadian military history and regimental insignia.
