WW1 British BEF Army Service Corps Cap Badge

The WW1 British BEF Army Service Corps Cap Badge is an original insignia issued to members of the British Expeditionary Force’s Army Service Corps during the First World War. Produced in a brass finish, this badge features the monogram “ASC” enclosed within a laurel wreath, surmounted by a Tudor Crown. The design reflects the Corps’ role in logistics and support, responsible for transport, supply, and essential services to front-line units. Measuring approximately 45mm by 45mm, the badge was typically worn on the peaked caps of enlisted personnel and non-commissioned officers. The reverse commonly has slider or lug fittings for secure attachment to headgear. The Army Service Corps was integral to the BEF’s operational effectiveness, and its insignia represents an important aspect of British military heritage from the 1914-1918 period. This cap badge provides a relevant example of British regimental insignia from the era of the Great War.
