WW2 Canadian South Alberta Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian South Alberta Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth formation badge used during the Second World War. This insignia was worn by members of the South Alberta Regiment, a unit within the Canadian Armoured Corps that participated in key campaigns in Northwest Europe. Constructed from khaki-colored canvas, the shoulder title features red embroidered lettering spelling “SOUTH ALBERTA” in all capitals. The insignia was typically sewn onto the upper sleeves of the battledress blouse, distinguishing the wearer’s regimental affiliation. This format of shoulder title was introduced as part of the Canadian Army’s efforts during the 1940s to implement standardized identification among its forces. The single piece offered here reflects the standard issue pattern from the wartime period and does not include paired insignia. These titles form an important part of Canadian military uniform history and are of interest to collectors of World War II artifacts.
