WW2 Canadian Calgary Highlanders Battledress Slip-Ons Insignia Pair

The WW2 Canadian Calgary Highlanders Battledress Slip-Ons Insignia Pair consists of two original fabric shoulder titles issued to members of the Calgary Highlanders during the Second World War. These slip-ons are constructed from khaki drab material, designed to be worn on the epaulets of the standard-issue Canadian battledress blouse. Each slip-on features “CALGARY HIGHLANDERS” embroidered in red thread, identifying the wearer’s regimental affiliation. The Calgary Highlanders, an infantry regiment of the Canadian Army, served in the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division and participated in major campaigns in Northwest Europe. Slip-on shoulder titles were introduced to improve identification and ease of replacement in the field. These insignia reflect standard wartime construction techniques, including rolled edges and machine embroidery, and provide tangible evidence of the regiment’s contributions during WW2. This matched pair illustrates the typical design of Canadian battledress insignia from the conflict period.
