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

This item is a single shoulder title insignia from the First World War, designated for the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), a cavalry regiment within the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF). The insignia consists of the abbreviation “LSH” in metal, typically designed to be affixed to the shoulder straps of a military uniform. Used throughout the Great War, such shoulder titles served to identify the wearer’s regiment, assisting in unit cohesion and administration. The Lord Strathcona’s Horse regiment was formed in 1900 and mobilized as part of the CEF in 1914, serving in France and Flanders. This insignia reflects the standard patterns produced for Canadian cavalry units during the period, often featuring a brass or gilding metal construction with lug fastenings for attachment. Single shoulder titles were commonly issued as part of a pair and may display age-related wear or service patina consistent with original First World War artefacts.
