WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Armoured Corps Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original military uniform badge issued during the Second World War. This rectangular shoulder title is constructed from khaki or olive-drab canvas, with “CANADIAN ARMOURED CORPS” embroidered in capital letters, typically in light-colored thread. Such titles were worn on the upper sleeves of battledress blouses to identify service branch and unit affiliation. The Canadian Armoured Corps, established in 1940, played a significant role in overseas operations alongside Allied forces. Shoulder titles served both as a means of recognition and as an organizational tool within the army structure. The canvas variety was standard issue, reflecting wartime production methods that prioritized function and durability. This single title provides an authentic example of period insignia, illustrating standard-issue uniforms worn by members of the Canadian Armoured Corps between 1940 and 1945. It holds value for collectors and researchers interested in Canadian military history and insignia.
