Irish Regiment of Canada Title
I've go some with slight colour variation. Probably due to different manufacturers

IRISH REGIMENT OF CANADA
Hi Guy's, On the great website http//:www.irishregimentofcanada.ca which forum member Pylon 1357 (Cliff) has at the bottom of all his posts, there is a sample of the last example Danny has posted with the words Buff/Creme embroidery beside it. regards john

Sorry John, Where on Cliff's site is that image? Cliff and I have talked at some length about the post war shoulder titles, and it seems a lot of the records / information disappeared when the Toronto Irish Regiment was reduced to nil strength and transfered to the supplementary order of battle. The archive records that exist (and they are far from complete) do indicate there were issues with the saffron colour. (The first sample in archives is almost a copper colour embroidery.) There are titles with almost lemon green embroidery through the buff colour. Even in the Second WW titles one can find a wide degree of variance in the embroidery.
Danny the two titles on the right side of your image are the Garrison Dress or cadet fully woven pattern. They were not available until the late 80's or early 90's and iiuc the cadets still wear the fully embroidered pattern today.

I should add that when the Irish Regiment was re-formed as the 2nd Bn Irish Regiment in Sudbury, there was not a transfer of the Toronto regimental kit to the new battalion. A lot of it was disposed of or disappeared into the woodwork. The result was that there were new indents for insignia.

Irish Regiment of Canada Cadet Titles.
Bill I do have a few of the cadet titles. The 2912 Sudbury Irish have worn their own titles for some time now. A few years ago the 2915 Capreol Irish replaced the garrison dress pattern title. Not sure if the 2964 Walden Irish are still wearing the garrison dress pattern, or have also adopted new titles. I've tried to contact them on a few occasions, but unfortunately no response.

John it is listed as post war, which includes up to unification. It appears to be the title worn at the time of unification. As I indicated above the buff pattern came back at some point in the 1960's.
Thanks for the information about the Irish Regt cadet badges Danny. (I don't focus on them other than how they impact the reserves / regular force insignia.)

Hi, The title is a starch back pattern, and they are fragile. Personally, I would not do anything to it.

Starch backs for Canadian units do not appear until the late spring or early summer of 1945. They were not an authorized pattern, but are found for most Canadian units that were in the UK. They appear to have been a private purchase title, but some units may have acquired an inventory fo their personnel. The Irish Regt is not often seen.
