WW1 British BEF Army Service Corps Cap Badge

The WW1 British BEF Army Service Corps Cap Badge is an authentic piece of military insignia from the First World War, worn by personnel of the Army Service Corps within the British Expeditionary Force (BEF). Crafted in a bi-metal composition, this badge typically features a crowned laurel wreath encircling the royal cipher “GRV” (for King George V), surmounted by a king’s crown. The words “Army Service Corps” are inscribed on a scroll at the base. The badge was designed to be attached to the service cap via a pair of rear-located slider or lug fittings. Members of the Army Service Corps played a crucial logistical role, managing transport and supplies for British forces on the Western Front and other theaters of war. This cap badge represents both the branch identity and the vital support function that the Corps provided during WW1, serving as an important example of British military insignia from the period.
