WW2 Canadian The Royal Canadian Regiment Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair British Made

Each arc-shaped title reads “ROYAL CANADIAN REGIMENT” in red thread on a navy blue wool background, following the traditional regimental pattern of the period. These particular examples are British made, as indicated by their construction and materials, a common practice during the war due to logistical support from the United Kingdom.
