WW2 The Royal Canadian Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single

The WW2 The Royal Canadian Regiment Canvas Shoulder Title Insignia Single is an original uniform item worn by members of The Royal Canadian Regiment during the Second World War. This insignia consists of a rectangular strip of khaki canvas with the regiment’s name, “The Royal Canadian Regiment,” machine-embroidered in red thread. The shoulder title was typically sewn onto the upper sleeve of the battledress blouse or jacket to identify the wearer’s unit. Such insignia formed part of the standard Canadian Army uniform from the outbreak of World War II and were used throughout the conflict. The canvas material and straightforward design are characteristic of Canadian shoulder titles issued during this period, intended for practicality and durability in active service. This single example represents a piece of Canadian military history, reflecting the organizational structure and identification practices of front-line and support troops within The Royal Canadian Regiment during the war.
