WW2 Canadian Le Regiment de la Chaudiere Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Le Regiment de la Chaudiere Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original fabric insignia used by personnel of Le Régiment de la Chaudière during the Second World War. This regiment, part of the Canadian Army, was mobilized for active service in 1939 and later took part in the Normandy landings and subsequent campaigns in Northwest Europe. The shoulder title is constructed from khaki canvas with red machine-embroidered text reading “LE REGIMENT DE LA CHAUDIERE.” This type of insignia was typically sewn onto the upper sleeves of battle dress uniforms to identify the wearer’s regimental affiliation. The single piece format offered here reflects standard issue for individual soldiers. Items such as this provide material evidence of Canadian military organization and regimental distinctions during World War II. Condition and stitching style may vary according to period issuance and use. This example represents personal equipment from a notable Canadian combat unit of the era.
