WW2 British Guernsey Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 British Guernsey Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth formation badge issued to members of military units associated with Guernsey during the Second World War. Typically worn on the upper sleeve of the battledress uniform, this shoulder title identifies the wearer as being connected to the Channel Island of Guernsey. The insignia is constructed from embroidered white thread forming the word “GUERNSEY” on a curved navy blue wool backing, reflecting the standard design of British regional shoulder titles from the period. These titles were produced for voluntary infantry units formed from Channel Islanders who served with British forces after the occupation of the islands by German troops in 1940. The item measures approximately 10 centimeters in length and retains its WWII-era coloration and materials. Such insignia were used for unit identification and esprit de corps, and they provide insight into the structure and composition of British auxiliary formations during the conflict.
