WW2 Canadian CANADA Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single 2

The WW2 Canadian CANADA Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is a military cloth insignia issued to members of the Canadian Armed Forces during the Second World War. This rectangular shoulder title is constructed from khaki or olive drab canvas, with the word “CANADA” embroidered in red capital letters across the center. The insignia was sewn onto the upper sleeves of the battledress blouse or service dress, signifying the wearer’s nationality within Commonwealth forces. Such national distinction patches were mandated by regulations to ensure the identification of Canadian personnel serving in overseas and multinational units. The use of canvas material and specific color schemes reflect wartime manufacturing processes and standards. Single shoulder titles like this example were often worn in pairs, one on each sleeve, but are commonly found individually in period collections. This item is relevant for collectors and historians interested in Canadian military uniforms and insignia from the 1939-1945 era.
