WW2 British Royal Army Service Corps Cap Badge

The WW2 British Royal Army Service Corps Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by personnel of the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) during the Second World War. The RASC was responsible for transport and supply operations, playing a vital role in supporting the British Army’s logistical needs. This cap badge typically features a crowned laurel wreath encircling the royal cypher and a central garter with the motto “HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE,” surmounted by a king’s crown. Below the central design, a scroll bears the inscription “ROYAL ARMY SERVICE CORPS.” Usually made of brass or white metal, the badge was affixed to the standard service cap worn by corps members. The design reflects the corps’ royal patronage and its importance within the British Army during the period. These badges provide a tangible connection to military history and the essential support role of the RASC in wartime operations.
