Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

This pair of Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC) shoulder titles insignia represents an example of military insignia worn by members of the RCASC. Typically affixed to the upper sleeves of service dress uniforms, these shoulder titles identified the wearers’ corps affiliation within the Canadian Army. Each title is constructed from embroidered cloth, featuring the abbreviation “R.C.A.S.C.” in yellow thread on a blue background, reflecting the branch colors during their period of use. The RCASC, established in 1901, was responsible for transportation and supply services in the field, supporting Canadian military operations both in peacetime and during wartime deployments, including both World Wars. Shoulder titles such as these were standard issue and served both functional and organizational purposes within regimental dress codes. This insignia pair provides a tangible connection to the logistical arm of the Canadian Army and illustrates aspects of mid-20th-century military uniform design and corps identification practices.
