WW2 British Royal Engineers Cap Badge

The WW2 British Royal Engineers Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Royal Engineers during the Second World War. Manufactured primarily from brass, the badge features the Royal Cypher of King George VI at its center, encircled by the unit’s regimental title, “Royal Engineers,” and surmounted by the King’s crown. The outer edge is designed with a laurel wreath, symbolizing victory and honor. This badge was typically worn on the service dress cap by both officers and enlisted personnel of the corps. The Royal Engineers played a critical role in combat engineering, construction, and logistical support throughout the war. The design reflects both the heritage and the practical functions performed by the regiment. Badges of this type were produced in large numbers and issued as standard kit. The reverse side generally features lugs or a slider for attachment to military headgear.
