WW2 Canadian British Columbia Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

This item is a single canvas shoulder title insignia from the Second World War, representing the British Columbia Regiment of Canada. The insignia is constructed from red embroidered lettering on a khaki-green canvas background, conforming to the standard style utilized by Canadian units during the period. Shoulder titles were worn on the upper sleeve of a soldier’s battledress blouse, serving to identify unit affiliation within the Canadian Army. The British Columbia Regiment, an armoured regiment, played a role in the Canadian Army’s operations both at home and overseas. This insignia would have been issued to serving members for daily wear, subject to field conditions, and reflects typical wartime manufacture methods. Measuring approximately several inches in length, the canvas strip is designed with a slight curve to fit comfortably on the uniform. This example provides historical context for unit identification practices within the Commonwealth forces during the Second World War.
