WW2 British Middlesex Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British Middlesex Regiment Cap Badge was worn by members of the Middlesex Regiment, a line infantry regiment of the British Army active during the Second World War. Typically made of brass or white metal, the badge features the regiment’s distinctive emblem: the Prince of Wales’s plumes set above a circlet bearing the motto “Middlesex” and a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s title. The design reflects the regiment’s long history, with roots tracing back to the 18th century. Cap badges like this one were attached to the service dress cap and served both as a form of identification and as a symbol of regimental identity. During WW2, the Middlesex Regiment participated in significant campaigns across Europe and Asia. This badge represents a typical example of British military insignia from the era, reflecting both the heritage and operational service of the unit during the conflict.
