WW2 Canadian South Saskatchewan Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian South Saskatchewan Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original cloth formation badge issued to members of the South Saskatchewan Regiment during the Second World War. This insignia consists of a rectangular strip of khaki tan canvas, with the regiment’s name, “S. SASKATCHEWAN R.,” machine-embroidered in red thread. Designed to be worn on the upper sleeve of the battledress jacket, the shoulder title identified the wearer’s unit within the Canadian Army. The South Saskatchewan Regiment was an infantry unit mobilized for overseas service and is noted for its participation in key operations including the Dieppe Raid in 1942. Shoulder titles of this type were introduced as part of standardized Canadian Army insignia, contributing to uniform identification and esprit de corps. The piece shows typical period construction methods and materials, reflecting the utilitarian nature of wartime uniforms. This single title is representative of Canadian military insignia from the 1939–1945 period.
