C022086 1920-36 CANADIAN SCOTTISH REGIMENT "CANADIAN SCOTTISH" BRASS SHOULDER TILE.
BACKGROUND: The regiment originated on 3 September 1912 when the 88th Regiment, Victoria Fusiliers was authorized. When the 16th (Canadian Scottish) Battalion, CEF was created in 1914, it drew on soldiers from the four separate regiments - the 50th Regiment (Gordon Highlanders of Canada) in Victoria, the 72nd Seaforth Highlanders of Canada in Vancouver, the 79th Regiment (Cameron Highlanders of Canada) in Winnipeg, and the 91st Canadian Highlanders (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) in Hamilton. The new battalion was simply referred to as "Canadian Scottish" so as not to perpetuate specific regimental identities.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: 1920's or 1930's vintage stamped brass shoulder tile measuring about 4cm x 2cm, with "CANADIAN" arched downward and "SCOTTISH" arched upward; meeting in the corners. The reverse is a mirror image of the front which has double mounting lugs and cotter pin.
