WW1 British BEF King’s Royal Rifle Corps Cap Badge

The WW1 British BEF King’s Royal Rifle Corps Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the King’s Royal Rifle Corps during the First World War. This cap badge was worn on the service dress cap by soldiers serving with the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) between 1914 and 1918. The design typically features a Maltese cross with the regiment’s title inscribed around the central circle, often incorporating the regimental bugle horn and a crown at the top. Manufactured in brass or bronze, these badges were produced by various makers in the United Kingdom during wartime. The cap badge served as an important means of unit identification and reflected the traditions of the Corps, which was known for its rifle marksmanship and skirmishing roles. Items such as these are valued by collectors of military history for their historical significance and connection to the British Army’s involvement in the First World War.
