WW2 British Cornwall Light Infantry Officer’s Bronze OSD Cap Badge

The WW2 British Cornwall Light Infantry Officer’s Bronze OSD Cap Badge is an original insignia worn by officers of the Cornwall Light Infantry during the Second World War. Manufactured from bronze, this badge was part of the Officer’s Service Dress (OSD) uniform, distinguishing it from the standard brass versions issued to other ranks. The design features the regimental bugle horn with a central “Cornwall” scroll, surmounted by a crown, symbolizing the regiment’s identity and service within the British Army. The bronze finish was intended to be less conspicuous in the field, conforming to wartime requirements for active service dress. The reverse typically includes two blades or lugs for attachment to the cap. These badges were issued from 1939 through 1945 and are recognized for their robust construction and regimental significance. The Cornwall Light Infantry has a long-standing history, and items such as this badge are representative of its WW2 service period.
