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

The WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Corps (CWAC) Shoulder Titles Insignia Pair consists of two fabric shoulder titles worn by members of the Canadian Women’s Army Corps during the Second World War. These insignia are constructed from dark khaki wool with embroidered lettering.  These are designed to be sewn onto the upper sleeve of the service uniform. The CWAC was established in 1941 to allow women to serve in non-combat roles within the Canadian Army, including administrative, communications, and logistical positions. The shoulder titles identified the wearer’s affiliation with the Corps and contributed to uniformity and esprit de corps among members. As officially issued insignia from the wartime period, these items are notable for their historical relevance to the evolving role of women in Canada’s military efforts during World War II. The pair represents standard issue accoutrements for female military personnel of the era.
