WW2 British Royal Army Service Corps RASC Cap Badge

The WW2 British Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) Cap Badge is an original insignia issued to members of the RASC during the Second World War. The badge features the emblem of the RASC, which typically consists of a crowned Elizabethan Garter circlet bearing the motto “HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE,” surrounding the royal cypher of the reigning monarch. The circlet is mounted on a starburst design, with a scroll inscribed “Royal Army Service Corps” at the base. This cap badge was worn on the service dress cap by personnel responsible for logistical support, supply, and transportation within the British Army. Constructed from brass or white metal, the badge often features a slider or lug attachment for securing it to the cap. The RASC played a key role throughout WW2, ensuring the efficient movement and distribution of supplies, equipment, and personnel across various theaters of operation.
