WW2 Canadian Princess Louise 4th Dragoon Guards British Made Shoulder Title Insignia Single Starch Back

The WW2 Canadian Princess Louise 4th Dragoon Guards British Made Shoulder Title Insignia Single Starch Back is an original cloth insignia issued during the Second World War. The insignia represents the Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, a Canadian armoured regiment with roots dating back to the 19th century. This specific shoulder title was manufactured in Britain for Canadian service personnel, a common practice during the conflict due to supply arrangements within the Commonwealth. The piece is constructed from cloth with a starch backing, a standard method that provided a degree of rigidity and durability. The embroidered text typically displays the regiment’s name on a shaped backing, designed to be affixed to the uniform’s upper sleeve. Single-piece examples such as this are individual rather than paired. Insignia of this type were worn to identify unit affiliation within the Canadian Army and remain of interest to collectors of military memorabilia and historians studying Canadian involvement in the Second World War.
