WW2 British Essex Regiment Collar Insignia Single

The WW2 British Essex Regiment Collar Insignia offered here is a single original piece dating from the period of the Second World War. This insignia was worn on the collar of the uniform by members of the Essex Regiment, a long-standing infantry regiment of the British Army with a history tracing back to the 18th century. The design typically features the regiment’s distinctive emblem, which may include the castle and key, referencing the regiment’s association with Gibraltar. Manufactured from brass or a similar metal alloy, the insignia was attached to the uniform through lugs or a slider on the reverse. These collar badges formed an integral part of the regimental identity during WW2, distinguishing personnel within the British Army. This single insignia represents both the standard of uniform detailing from the era and the specific traditions upheld by the Essex Regiment during its service in the conflict.
