WW2 British Women’s Royal Army Corps WRAC Cap Badge

The WW2 British Women’s Royal Army Corps (WRAC) Cap Badge is an original insignia issued to female personnel of the British Army during the Second World War. Established in 1942 as the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the WRAC became its successor, providing vital support roles such as clerical, communications, and logistical work. The cap badge features a stylized laurel wreath surmounted by the royal crown, encircling the intertwined letters ‘WRAC.’ Manufactured primarily in brass or white metal, the badge was worn on the uniform cap, signifying membership and unit identity. The design reflects its official status as part of British Army headgear and represents the contribution of women to wartime military operations. This badge is of interest to collectors of British militaria or those researching women’s roles in the armed forces during the mid-20th century. It serves as a tangible reminder of the WRAC’s place in military history.
