The WW1 British BEF 2nd Battalion Monmouthshire Regiment White Metal Cap Badge is an authentic artifact from the early twentieth century, issued to soldiers serving in this unit during the First World War. The badge is crafted from white metal, a characteristic material for Territorial battalions of the period. Its design features a laurel wreath surrounding a central “M” monogram, surmounted by the Royal Crown, and bearing a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s title. The reverse typically includes a pair of lugs for attachment to a service cap.
