WW2 Canadian CANADA Uncut Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

This item is a pair of World War II-era Canadian “CANADA” shoulder title insignia in uncut form. These cloth patches were worn by members of the Canadian Army during the Second World War as national identifiers on the uniform’s upper sleeves. The uncut pair consists of two adjoining red titles with “CANADA” embroidered in white lettering, presented as originally issued before being separated for individual wear. Shoulder titles such as these were standard issue to denote a soldier’s country of service in Commonwealth forces and were commonly used from 1940 onwards. The use of distinctively colored thread and material was mandated to ensure visibility and recognition. The uncut condition reflects the insignia’s state prior to battlefield or parade use, making it of particular interest for those studying variations in military insignia manufacture and distribution during the period. These titles provide insight into the uniform regulations and national identity of Canadian military personnel during World War II.
