Canadian The Prince Edward Island Regiment 17th RECCE Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The Canadian The Prince Edward Island Regiment 17th RECCE Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two matching uniform badges. These titles were worn by members of the 17th (Reserve) Reconnaissance Regiment associated with The Prince Edward Island Regiment, a Canadian armoured reserve regiment. Each shoulder title is constructed from brass and features a curved design with the raised inscription “17TH RECCE,” denoting the unit’s reconnaissance role within the Canadian Army during the mid-20th century. These badges were typically affixed to the upper sleeve of the service dress uniform, identifying the wearer’s regimental affiliation. Items of this type were produced during the Second World War era and into the postwar years as part of the Canadian military’s standard insignia for reconnaissance and armoured units. This pair reflects the specific unit identity and traditions of The Prince Edward Island Regiment during its period of service as the 17th Reconnaissance Regiment.
