WW1 British Manchester Regiment Glengarry Badge

The WW1 British Manchester Regiment Glengarry Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Manchester Regiment during the First World War. This badge was designed for wear on the traditional Scottish Glengarry cap, which formed part of certain regimental uniforms. The badge is typically made from brass and features a central motif of the regiment’s insignia, often incorporating elements such as a fleur-de-lys, scrolls with the regimental title, and sometimes a wreath or crown, depending on the specific pattern used during this period. The design reflects the regimental identity and the British Army’s standardized practices for unit badges. The item exemplifies the materials and craftsmanship of early 20th-century British military insignia. Such badges were worn for purposes of identification and esprit de corps, and they remain significant for military historians and collectors seeking artifacts from the Manchester Regiment’s service in the Great War.
