WW1 Canadian Engineers CE Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW1 Canadian Engineers CE Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two brass shoulder titles worn by members of the Canadian Engineers during the First World War. Each insignia is formed from brass and features the raised letters “CE,” an abbreviation for Canadian Engineers. These titles were affixed to the shoulder straps of the service dress uniform to indicate the wearer’s corps affiliation. The Canadian Engineers played a vital role in military operations, performing tasks such as constructing trenches, roads, and bridges, as well as handling explosives and field fortifications. The use of shoulder titles as corps identification was standard practice in the Canadian Expeditionary Force during World War I. These insignia pairs typically measure approximately 45mm in length and retain original lugs or attachment fittings on the reverse for securing to uniform fabric. They represent a tangible connection to Canadian military history and engineering contributions during the conflict from 1914 to 1918.
