WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Canada Shoulder Title Insignia Single (2)

The WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Canada Shoulder Title Insignia Single is a cloth formation patch issued to members of the Essex Scottish Regiment during the Second World War. This specific insignia was worn on the uniform shoulder to identify the wearer’s regiment within the Canadian Army. Made from red felt with cream or white embroidery, the title displays the regiment’s name, “ESSEX SCOTTISH CANADA,” in bold, uppercase letters. The Essex Scottish Regiment, based in Windsor, Ontario, served with distinction as part of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Division, participating in notable campaigns in Northwestern Europe, including the Dieppe Raid and subsequent operations from Normandy onwards. Shoulder titles such as this were standard elements of Canadian Army battle dress and played a key role in unit recognition. This single shoulder title represents both the unit’s heritage and its contribution to the Canadian military effort during the Second World War.
