WW2 British Royal Army Ordnance Corps RAOC Cap Badge

The WW2 British Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the RAOC during the Second World War. The badge typically features the RAOC’s distinctive design, which includes a shield bearing three cannons, surmounted by a crown, and often incorporating the unit’s motto, “Sua Tela Tonanti.” Manufactured from brass or white metal, the cap badge was worn by personnel on the standard issue service cap, signifying regimental affiliation within the British Army. The RAOC was responsible for the supply and maintenance of munitions, weapons, and military equipment, playing a critical logistical role throughout the conflict. Badges from the WW2 period may show signs of age and service use, such as patination or wear consistent with field conditions. These items serve as representative artifacts of British military history and are valued for their connection to the personnel and operations of the era.
