WW1 British Worcestershire Regiment Glengarry Badge

The WW1 British Worcestershire Regiment Glengarry Badge is an original metal insignia issued to members of the Worcestershire Regiment during the First World War. Intended for wear on the traditional Scottish glengarry cap, this badge features design elements distinctive to the regiment. Typically constructed from brass or white metal, the badge incorporates the regiment’s emblem—often a crowned maltese cross or royal cipher—encircled by a laurel wreath and bearing the regiment’s name. Such badges served both as an identifier of regimental affiliation and as part of the standard uniform accoutrements. The Worcestershire Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army, playing a significant role in multiple campaigns throughout World War I. Glengarry badges underwent minor variations depending on the period and battalion, but the central insignia remained consistent. These badges are of interest for historical study and form an important aspect of British military uniform heritage from the early twentieth century.
