WW2 British Princess Louise’s Kensington Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British Princess Louise’s Kensington Regiment Cap Badge is a military insignia associated with the Princess Louise’s Kensington Regiment, a British Army Territorial unit. This brass cap badge features the regimental emblem, which typically includes a crowned laurel wreath surrounding the monogram “PLK” (Princess Louise’s Kensington) and a scroll bearing the regiment’s title. The badge was worn on the headdress of enlisted members during the Second World War. The design reflects the regiment’s association with Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll, and its London origins. Measuring approximately 4.5 cm in height, the badge includes a slider or lugs for attachment to standard military headgear. Cap badges served both as unit identifiers and as symbols of regimental pride and tradition within the British Army. This example is representative of wartime insignia used by Territorial units on active service during the conflict from 1939 to 1945.
