WW1 Canadian CEF 112th Battalion Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF 112th Battalion Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original military badge issued to members of the 112th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, during the First World War. Constructed from brass, this shoulder title is designed in an arc shape bearing the number “112” prominently above the abbreviation “CEF,” indicating the battalion and its association with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Such insignia were worn on the upper sleeve of a soldier’s service dress to denote battalion affiliation. The 112th Battalion was authorized in late 1915 and primarily recruited from Nova Scotia before deployment overseas. Shoulder titles like this served both an identification and organizational purpose within the Canadian military structure. This piece represents a single insignia, typically affixed to a uniform with lugs and a pin. It reflects the standardized style and manufacturing methods used for Canadian Army insignia during the First World War.
