WW2 Canadian CWAC CANADA Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW2 Canadian CWAC CANADA Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair represents a significant component of the uniform worn by members of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) during the Second World War. These shoulder titles were typically worn on the upper sleeves of the service dress to denote affiliation with the CWAC, an organization established in 1941 to allow women to serve in non-combat roles within the Canadian Army. Each title consists of a curved fabric strip embroidered with the word “CANADA,” indicating national service, and the corresponding CWAC designation. The construction of these insignia usually involved khaki or dark green wool with red thread for the lettering, designed to be both durable and easily identifiable. Pairs are matched for left and right shoulders. CWAC shoulder titles serve as both historical artifacts and evidence of the vital contributions made by Canadian women in the military during World War II.
