WW2 British Prince Albert’s Somerset Light Infantry Cap Badge

The WW2 British Prince Albert’s Somerset Light Infantry Cap Badge is an original military insignia issued to members of the Somerset Light Infantry regiment during the Second World War. The badge features the regiment’s distinctive design, with a bugle horn surmounted by a crown, a motif traditionally associated with light infantry units in the British Army. The center of the bugle typically bears a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. Manufactured from brass or white metal, the badge would have been worn on the service dress cap as part of the standard uniform, signifying the wearer’s regimental affiliation. The Somerset Light Infantry, originally formed in 1685, played a significant role in various campaigns throughout World War II. This cap badge represents both the historical identity and service of the regiment during the wartime period. The attachment on the reverse side is consistent with the era’s typical fastening methods, such as a slider or lugs.
