WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC CANADA Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) CANADA Shoulder Title Insignia was an identification badge worn by female personnel serving in the Canadian military during the Second World War. This insignia consists of a single cloth shoulder title, typically produced in khaki or dark green wool, with the word “CANADA” embroidered in red capital letters. The patch was designed to be sewn onto the uniform, usually on the upper shoulder, and served to clearly indicate the wearer’s national service as well as their membership in the CWAC. The CWAC was established in 1941 to allow women to contribute to the war effort in non-combat roles, including administration, clerical work, and other essential support duties. This shoulder title represents not only a component of wartime uniform regulations but also a significant part of Canadian military history, highlighting the involvement of women in armed service during the 1940s.
