WW1 Canadian CEF Lord Strathcona’s Horse Shoulder Title Insignia Single (1)

The WW1 Canadian CEF Lord Strathcona’s Horse Shoulder Title Insignia Single is a metal shoulder title worn by members of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) during the First World War. This unit was part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) and is recognized for its role as a cavalry regiment within the Canadian military. The insignia, typically constructed of brass, is designed to be affixed to the uniform’s shoulder strap to clearly indicate regimental identity. The piece consists of the regimental name, usually with the text “LORD STRATHCONA’S HORSE” in raised letters, and was issued as a single item for wear on one shoulder. Such insignia were standard issue and served both to distinguish the wearer’s unit and to support esprit de corps. This item is of interest to collectors and historians as a physical remnant from Canadian military service during the First World War.
