WW1 British BEF Territorial Cornwall Royal Garrison Artillery Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW1 British BEF Territorial Cornwall Royal Garrison Artillery Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original piece of military insignia from the First World War era. This metal shoulder title was issued to members of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) who served with the Territorial Force component of the Royal Garrison Artillery in Cornwall. The insignia typically features the abbreviated unit designation in raised lettering, affixed to a horizontal metal bar, intended to be worn on the uniform’s shoulder strap. These titles served to identify the wearer’s regiment and locality, reflecting the structure and regional affiliations within the British Army during the conflict. The Cornwall Royal Garrison Artillery was responsible for coastal defense and operated heavy artillery units. As an individual piece, this shoulder title would have been part of a soldier’s standard kit, providing insight into the organizational and regional identity of artillery units within the British Army during World War I.
