WW2 8 Canadian RECCE Regiment 14 CH Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 8 Canadian RECCE Regiment 14 CH Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia is a military uniform item originating from the Second World War period. This single shoulder title was designated for members of the 8th Reconnaissance (Reconnaissance) Regiment, also known as the 14th Canadian Hussars. Made from khaki canvas with red embroidered text, it displays “VIII CDN RECCE REGIMENT 14 CH,” identifying the wearer’s unit within the Canadian Army. Such insignia were typically sewn onto the upper sleeve of the battledress blouse, distinguishing the unit at a glance. The 8th Canadian Reconnaissance Regiment played a key role in Allied operations in Northwest Europe, conducting reconnaissance, scouting, and liaison tasks. Shoulder titles like this contributed to unit cohesion and were part of standard Canadian military uniform practice. The offered item is a single title, which would have originally been part of a pair worn on both shoulders.
