WW2 British Manchester Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British Manchester Regiment Cap Badge is a metal insignia worn by members of the Manchester Regiment during the Second World War. The badge typically features the heraldic elements associated with the regiment, including the fleur-de-lys at the center, encircled by a laurel wreath and surmounted by a crown. The scroll beneath reads “Manchester,” clearly identifying the unit. Manufactured during the wartime period, these badges were affixed to the berets or service caps of soldiers as a symbol of regimental identity and affiliation. The design reflects the regiment’s long-standing history within the British Army. The badge is made from brass or white metal, depending on the specific issue, and shows variations in manufacturing details due to different wartime suppliers. Such cap badges are collected today for their historical significance and as representations of British military insignia from the World War II era.
