WW2 Canadian The Black Watch RHR of Canada Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

This item consists of a pair of World War II-era shoulder titles for The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada. Manufactured for issue to Canadian Army personnel during the Second World War, these cloth insignia were worn on the upper sleeves of battledress jackets to identify regimental affiliation. The titles are embroidered with the designation “THE BLACK WATCH R.H.R. OF CANADA” in red thread on a dark blue or black wool background, consistent with the regiment’s traditional colors. The titles are cut to shape and typically feature a slight curve to conform to the upper arm. The Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada is one of the country’s senior infantry regiments, with origins dating to the 19th century and a distinguished record of service during World War II. Original shoulder titles such as these are of historical interest to collectors of Canadian military uniforms and insignia, as well as researchers studying regimental distinctions.
