WW2 Canadian The Calgary Regiment Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair British Made

This pair of World War II Canadian shoulder titles represents The Calgary Regiment, a distinguished Canadian armoured unit. Manufactured in Britain during the war, these insignia were worn on the upper sleeves of service dress uniforms to denote regimental affiliation. Each title is constructed from red felt with the regiment’s name “CALGARY REGT CANADA” embroidered in off-white thread. The British-made construction reflects wartime production agreements, as many Canadian units stationed overseas received uniform items produced in the United Kingdom. The titles are cut to conform to a slight arch, consistent with period patterns. The Calgary Regiment (Tank) played a significant role during the Second World War, most notably at the Dieppe Raid in 1942. Items such as these shoulder titles are associated with the identity and traditions of the unit and provide insight into wartime uniform practices for Commonwealth forces. The pair shows features and materials typical of Canadian insignia manufactured in Britain during the 1940s.
