WW2 British Royal Artillery Beret Badge

The WW2 British Royal Artillery Beret Badge is an insignia issued to personnel of the Royal Artillery during the Second World War. The badge typically features a depiction of a field gun surmounted by a crown, with a scroll bearing the motto “Ubique” (Everywhere) and “Quo Fas Et Gloria Ducunt” (Where Right and Glory Lead). Manufactured from brass or white metal, the badge was designed for attachment to the beret—a headgear widely adopted by British forces in the early 1940s. Each badge was affixed by lugs or sliders, allowing secure placement on standard issue berets. The design reflects the long-standing traditions and honors of the Royal Artillery branch. As part of uniform regulations, these badges served both practical and symbolic purposes, identifying regimental affiliation and promoting unit morale. Wartime examples may show variations in material and construction, reflecting the constraints of wartime production.
