WW2 British Bermuda Rifles Cap Badge

The WW2 British Bermuda Rifles Cap Badge is a metal insignia originally issued to members of the Bermuda Volunteer Rifle Corps (BVRC) during the Second World War. The badge features a circular design with a laurel wreath, surmounted by a king’s crown, and displays a central band bearing the words “Bermuda Rifles.” Typically constructed from brass or white metal, the badge was worn on the service cap as part of the standard uniform. The BVRC, later renamed the Bermuda Rifles, formed part of the British colonial forces and contributed personnel to overseas campaigns, most notably in Europe and North Africa. The design reflects both British military insignia conventions and local Bermudian identity. Cap badges such as this example were widely used across the British Army to indicate regimental affiliation and unit pride. The badge provides historical insight into the role of colonial units in the broader context of the British war effort during World War II.
