WW1 Scottish Territorial Red Cross Brigade Cap Badge

The WW1 Scottish Territorial Red Cross Brigade Cap Badge is a historical military insignia issued during the First World War. This metal badge was worn by members of the Scottish Territorial units serving with the British Red Cross Society. It features a central Geneva Cross enamelled in red, set within a circle inscribed with the words “British Red Cross Society Scottish Branch.” The badge is typically surmounted by the crown, symbolizing service under the British monarchy. Territorial Force members wearing this badge provided essential medical support and first aid services on both the home front and in overseas operations. The reverse of the badge usually retains its original lugs for secure attachment to the cap. This item represents both the contribution of Scottish volunteer medical personnel during WW1 and the distinctive identity of the Red Cross organization within the broader framework of British military medical services.
