WW2 British Royal Army Ordnance Corps Cap Badge

The WW2 British Royal Army Ordnance Corps Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to personnel of the Royal Army Ordnance Corps (RAOC) during the Second World War. The badge typically consists of a laurel wreath encircling a shield, surmounted by a crown, with a central motif depicting a pair of crossed cannons and a flaming grenade. Below the central design, a scroll bears the inscription “Royal Army Ordnance Corps.” Manufactured in brass, the badge was worn on the service caps of RAOC members, identifying their role within the British Army’s logistics and munitions support branch. The RAOC was responsible for supplying weapons, ammunition, and military equipment to British and Commonwealth forces throughout the conflict. This cap badge exemplifies the regimental insignia used by enlisted soldiers and officers alike and reflects the design and materials typical of British Army badges produced during the 1939–1945 period.
