As for abbreviated titles, I'm not sure what you mean? The regiment has worn the same metal oak leaf design since circa 1938, with the exception of the CF era as noted, where the cloth shoulder badge with mirrored oak leaf design was worn. For shirt-sleeve order, the metal titles were worn on the CF green slip-on. Which drove the supply fellows at Base Clothing Stores crazy, because we had to pull the stitching out of the CANADA titles, and poke holes in the slip-on. Some guys even poked holes in the CF shirt to get the cotter pins to go through and allow the metal oakleaves to sit nice and flat on the shoulder strap.

Hello Michael, Thank-you for the succinct answer. The abbreviated embroidered titles were not acquired and thus not worn by the Calg H (sorry tired fingers...). The metal titles were preferred.
Before the system issue metal titles for the DEU, the old pattern metal titles were worn?

Note also that there is a smaller pattern oak leaf of high quality worn on the shoulder board of the Mess Dress uniform. Not to be confused with the CF-issue oak leaf, which has only to my knowledge ever been worn in error. The CF used to send quantities to the military supply stores here and recruits would draw them and sometimes wear them in error instead of wearing the ones issued to them by the regiment. They were quickly set straight.

Hi Bruce, My understanding was the abbreviated title over the oak leaf motif, sewn to the CF slip-on. Not sure if they were worn on workdress jacket.
