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

This pair of WW2 Canadian Women’s Army Service Corps (CWAC) CANADA shoulder titles represents original insignia worn by members of the CWAC during the Second World War. The CWAC was established in 1941, allowing Canadian women to serve in non-combat military roles such as clerical work, mechanics, and communications. Each shoulder title in this pair is constructed from khaki wool fabric, with “CANADA” embroidered in red thread, signifying national service. These titles were typically sewn onto the upper sleeves of the service uniform. The insignia’s size and design were standardized for identification and uniformity across the Corps. CWAC shoulder titles are significant artifacts reflecting the evolving role of women in the Canadian military during wartime. This pair is a representative example of period insignia used throughout the 1940s, offering insight into the uniforms and identity of Canadian servicewomen in World War II.
