Royal Canadian Postal Corps Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

This pair of Royal Canadian Postal Corps Shoulder Titles Insignia represents the official uniform distinction worn by members of the Royal Canadian Postal Corps. Each insignia consists of a matching set, typically manufactured from brass with a curved form to align with the shoulder seam of military uniforms. The design features the raised, plain-text abbreviation “R.C.P.C.” signifying the wearer’s affiliation with the corps responsible for military mail and administrative postal functions within the Canadian Armed Forces. The titles were generally fixed to the epaulettes or shoulder straps of service dress uniforms by means of attachment lugs or loops on the reverse side. Items such as these were standard issue from the early to mid-20th century, particularly during and following the Second World War, when the Royal Canadian Postal Corps played a crucial role in maintaining morale and operational communication for deployed personnel. This insignia pair provides a representative example of Canadian military identification practices during this period.
