WW1 Canadian CEF Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW1 Canadian CEF Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair are authentic military badges issued to members of the Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) during the First World War. Each insignia is typically constructed from brass and features the stamped letters “C.E.F.,” denoting the wearer’s affiliation with the Canadian forces. The design enabled easy identification of unit members and contributed to uniform standardization within the CEF, which was formed in 1914 to participate alongside Allied forces. These shoulder titles were attached to the upper sleeves of military tunics and were a standard element of CEF dress throughout the conflict. The pair offered here reflects period manufacturing techniques, with lugs or slider attachments on the reverse for securing to uniforms. Collectors and historians often seek these insignia for reference, study, or preservation, as they are tangible artifacts representing Canada’s contribution to World War I military efforts. Each pair may display variations consistent with wartime production.
