WW2 British Royal Armoured Corps Cap Badge 2

The WW2 British Royal Armoured Corps Cap Badge is a military insignia issued to members of the Royal Armoured Corps during the Second World War. Formed in 1939, the Corps unified Britain’s cavalry, tank regiments, and armoured car units within a single command structure. The badge features a central stylized representation of a World War I-era tank, surmounted by a king’s crown, and is flanked by laurel wreaths. “Royal Armoured Corps” is inscribed on a scroll beneath the tank image. Produced in brass or white metal, the badge typically measures approximately 5 cm in height by 4 cm in width. It was worn on the service dress cap by other ranks, while officers often wore a similar badge in silver or silver plate. This cap badge served as a symbol of identity and cohesion for personnel engaged in armoured warfare throughout the conflict, and remains a notable piece of British military history.
