48th Highlanders of Canada Shoulder Title

Under Review

Material: Cloth embroidery on dark blue backing

Size: 105mm w x 30mm h

Description: This vintage military shoulder title is meticulously machine-embroidered with bright scarlet-red thread woven into a durable, dark navy-blue wool felt backing fabric. The curved, arc-shaped layout cleanly displays the raised block lettering text "48th HIGHLANDERS" along the upper crest, balanced by the subordinate title "OF CANADA" arched directly underneath.

Circa: 1940-1945

Notes:

This specific title was proudly worn on the upper sleeves of battle dress uniforms as the 1st Battalion fought through major campaigns, including the Allied invasion of Sicily and the fierce street battles of Ortona.
