Canadian Guards Captains Patrol Shoulder Boards Insignia Pair

This item consists of a matched pair of Canadian Guards Captains Patrol Shoulder Boards Insignia. These boards were worn by officers holding the rank of Captain in the Canadian Guards, a regiment of the Canadian Army active from 1953 to 1970. The shoulder boards are designed for use with the patrol jacket, which was a standard component of officers’ dress uniforms. Each board features a dark backing material, typically wool or a synthetic blend, with metallic or embroidered insignia denoting the rank of Captain—three pips in the arrangement used by Commonwealth armies. The edges are trimmed for added distinction, consistent with period patterns and regimental specifications. Attachment points on the reverse side allow for secure placement on the garment’s shoulder epaulettes. These items are indicative of the uniform standards maintained by the Canadian Guards during their years of service and reflect broader traditions found across British Commonwealth military regalia.
