WW1 Canadian CEF 123rd Battalion Shoulder Number Insignia Single

The WW1 Canadian CEF 123rd Battalion Shoulder Number Insignia Single is an original piece of military insignia used by members of the 123rd Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Typically worn on the uniform’s epaulettes, this metal insignia features the number “123” in stamped numerals, denoting the battalion’s unique designation within the Canadian forces. Units such as the 123rd Battalion, which was formed in late 1915 and also known as the 123rd Pioneer Battalion, contributed to construction, engineering, and front-line operations on the Western Front. Shoulder titles like this were standard issue for identification and unit cohesion and helped distinguish battalions within large divisions. The insignia is made of metal, commonly brass or gilded brass, with lugs or slider fittings for attachment to the uniform. As an authentic piece, it represents the distinctive organizational structure and personal identification system of the CEF during the First World War.
