WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps CWAC CANADA Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) “CANADA” Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two original cloth titles issued to members of the CWAC during the Second World War. Introduced in 1941, the CWAC was established to enable women to serve in non-combatant roles within the Canadian Army. Each shoulder title in this pair is made from red wool with the word “CANADA” embroidered in yellow thread, designed to be worn on the upper sleeve of the service uniform. These insignia identified the wearer as a member of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps and denoted national affiliation. CWAC personnel served in vital support functions such as clerical, communications, and logistics throughout the war, both in Canada and overseas. These shoulder titles are a representative example of Canadian military insignia from the era and reflect the contributions of women to the war effort during the 1940s.
