Canadian Essex Scottish Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The Canadian Essex Scottish Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an authentic military cloth badge representing the Essex Scottish Regiment of Canada. This unit was established in 1885 and participated in both World Wars, becoming well-known for its role in the Dieppe Raid during the Second World War. The insignia typically features the regiment’s name, “Essex Scottish,” embroidered in white or off-white thread on scarlet or dark blue wool or felt. Designed to be worn on the upper sleeve of the service dress uniform, the shoulder title identified the wearer’s regimental affiliation. This insignia is a single piece, reflecting those commonly issued to individual soldiers rather than in matched pairs. Such items are of interest to collectors, historians, and researchers studying Canadian military history and uniform evolution. The patch’s materials, stitching style, and lettering provide insights into its period of manufacture and intended use within the Canadian Army.
