Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Officers Cap Badge

The Royal Canadian Army Service Corps Officers Cap Badge is a military insignia used by officers of the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps (RCASC). Originating in the 20th century, the badge symbolizes the rank and affiliation of the wearer to the RCASC, an administrative and transport unit within the Canadian Army. The badge, typically metallic, prominently features the design elements of a crown and a wheel with the motto “Honi soit qui mal y pense,” a French maxim translated as “Shame on he who thinks evil of it.” It has a pin or catch on the reverse for secure attachment to a cap. The RCASC Officers Cap Badge is an essential piece of a Canadian military uniform and a valued object of collectible military memorabilia. Authenticity can be confirmed by the distinctive design, material used, and manufacturer’s marks when present.
