WW1 British BEF Monmouthshire Regiment Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 British BEF Monmouthshire Regiment Collar Insignia Single is an original piece of military insignia worn by members of the Monmouthshire Regiment during the First World War. This metal collar badge features the distinctive design associated with the regiment, typically incorporating elements such as the Welsh dragon and scrolls bearing the regiment’s name. Collar insignia such as this were part of the British Army uniform and served to identify both the wearer’s unit and rank. The Monmouthshire Regiment was a Territorial Force infantry regiment that provided several battalions to the British Expeditionary Force (BEF) on the Western Front and other theatres of war during WW1. This single collar badge would have been worn on the uniform jacket collar, and its manufacture reflects the period’s standards for detail and materials, usually in gilding metal or brass. Such items are collected for their historical association with the Monmouthshire Regiment’s service in World War I.
