Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Cap Badge

The Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Cap Badge is a metal insignia worn by personnel of the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps, a branch of the Canadian Army responsible for the supply and maintenance of military equipment and ammunition. This badge typically features the monarch’s crown above a central shield, which is flanked by a laurel wreath and displays the Corps’ motto, “Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense,” on a prominent scroll. The lower section often includes the words “Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps.” Designs may vary slightly depending on the era of issue, with differences in crown type and construction materials such as brass or white metal. The cap badge served both as a form of identification and a symbol of the Corps’ role within the military. It was usually worn on the headdress as part of the standard uniform from the Corps’ formation through various conflicts, including the First and Second World Wars.
