WW1 British BEF 6th Battalion Liverpool The King’s Regiment Cap Badge

The WW1 British BEF 6th Battalion Liverpool The King’s Regiment Cap Badge is an original military insignia worn by members of the 6th Battalion, The King’s (Liverpool) Regiment during the First World War. Formed as part of the British Expeditionary Force (BEF), the 6th Battalion was a territorial unit that saw active service on the Western Front. The cap badge features the regiment’s emblem, typically comprising a crowned lion atop a crown, encircled by a laurel wreath and accompanied by a scroll inscribed with “The King’s.” Constructed from brass or white metal depending on the issue period, the badge was designed to be attached to the service cap using lugs or a slider fitting. Cap badges such as this one served to identify the regiment and foster esprit de corps among personnel. Items relating to the BEF and specific battalions like the 6th offer insight into British military organization and regimental history during the Great War.
