Material: Dark cloth backing with blue embroidered lettering.

Description: This original military uniform cloth shoulder title features the words "LORNE SCOTS" cleanly arched over the localized designation "CANADA". The insignia is constructed from a thick, durable felted wool base fabric dyed a deep, dark rifle green. The text is beautifully rendered using a dense, machine-embroidered satin stitch of vibrant emerald green thread, capturing the classic curved styling meant to fit seamlessly along the top sleeve curve of a service tunic or battle dress jacket.
Circa: 1939-1945.
Notes:
The Lorne Scots, formally associated with Peel, Dufferin and Halton, are a Canadian infantry regiment with militia roots in Ontario. The shoulder title presents the regimental name with CANADA beneath it, a compact identifier for uniform wear.
During World War II, The Lorne Scots (Peel, Dufferin and Halton Regiment) performed a unique, highly specialized role by providing dedicated Defense and Employment Platoons for Canadian Brigade, Division, and Corps Headquarters across Western Europe.
