WW2 British Royal Tank Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 British Royal Tank Regiment Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original uniform badge worn by personnel of the Royal Tank Regiment during the Second World War. This cloth insignia was typically affixed to the upper sleeve of the service dress or battledress blouse and served as a distinctive identifier of regimental affiliation. The design usually features the words “ROYAL TANK REGIMENT” embroidered in white or light-colored thread on a black fabric arc, following the standard pattern issued throughout the conflict. During WWII, such shoulder titles played a functional role in denoting unit membership, supporting easy identification among British Army branches and formations. Insignia like this example were issued to both officers and other ranks, contributing to unit cohesion and esprit de corps. The single insignia offered here reflects the standard format used during the war, without additional embellishments or regimental numbers, consistent with Royal Tank Regiment identification practices of the era.
