Canadian 15th Argyll’s Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The Canadian 15th Argyll’s Shoulder Title Insignia Single is a cloth formation identifier used by members of the 15th Battalion (Argyll Light Infantry) of the Canadian Army. Shoulder titles are typically worn on the upper sleeve of military uniforms to denote the wearer’s unit. This example consists of embroidered or printed text, arranged to spell out “15th Argyll’s” in a distinct style consistent with Canadian military insignia standards of its era. The use of shoulder titles became widespread during the early and mid-20th century, particularly throughout the World Wars, serving both administrative and esprit de corps functions within the Canadian forces. The 15th Argyll’s, originally an infantry regiment, drew its lineage from regional militia units in Ontario and participated in national defence and overseas commitments. Shoulder titles such as this one offer insight into regimental identity and uniform practices and remain relevant for collectors, historians, and researchers studying Canadian military history.
