Grenadier Guards of Canada (GG / CANADA) Broached Brass Shoulder Title

Grenadier Guards of Canada brass shoulder title, bearing the “GG / CANADA” designation and manufactured with a broached reverse fitting. The title is associated with the Canadian Grenadier Guards, a Canadian Army Reserve infantry regiment based in Montreal, Quebec. Established in 1859 as the Volunteer Militia Rifles of Canada, the regiment adopted the title Canadian Grenadier Guards in 1911, reflecting its affiliation with the British Grenadier Guards.

The shoulder title was designed to identify the regiment on the uniform and reflects the use of metal insignia within Canadian military dress. The brass construction and broached fitting are characteristic of shoulder titles intended for attachment to clothing, whether that be battle dress or other uniform. This example is of interest to collectors of Canadian regimental insignia, Canadian Grenadier Guards memorabilia and twentieth-century Commonwealth militaria.
