WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Essex Scottish Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is a period-correct uniform patch representing the Essex Scottish Regiment of Canada. Manufactured from khaki canvas, this rectangular shoulder title features the regiment’s name, “ESSEX SCOTTISH,” in red block letters. Such insignia were worn by members of the regiment on the upper sleeves of battledress uniforms during the Second World War, serving as identification for both allied forces and in administrative contexts. The Essex Scottish Regiment, based in Windsor, Ontario, played a significant role in the Canadian military efforts, including participation in the Dieppe Raid and campaigns across Northwest Europe. This single title would have been issued as part of a pair, either sewn directly onto uniforms or attached by other period methods. It is a representative artifact of Canadian Army uniform insignia from 1939–1945, reflecting the structure and practices of Commonwealth military forces during the conflict.
