A rectangular black wool shoulder title embroidered in red thread with the word “CANADA” in capital letters. The patch features two identical titles stitched together with a red dividing line, indicating it was produced as a double set for cutting before application to the uniform. The top title is slightly arched, while the lower one is straight.
These shoulder titles were worn on the upper sleeves of Canadian military uniforms, denoting national identity on service dress during the Second World War and early postwar period. The red-on-black color combination was particularly common among infantry and armoured corps personnel.
