WW1 Indian Medical Department Collar Insignia Single

The WW1 Indian Medical Department Collar Insignia Single is an original military badge worn by members of the Indian Medical Department during the First World War. This insignia would have been affixed to the collar of the uniform, serving as an identifier of the wearer’s role within the British Indian Army’s medical services. Typically crafted from brass, the badge features the monogram “IMD” (Indian Medical Department), sometimes accompanied by a crown or other regalia, depending on the period and issue. These insignia were issued to officers and enlisted personnel responsible for providing medical care and support to troops in various theaters of the war. The item represents both the contribution of Indian forces to the British war effort and the organizational structure of military healthcare at the time. This single collar badge is a representative artifact of military dress and the broader history of the Indian Army’s medical services during World War I.
