WW2 British Suffolk Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British Suffolk Regiment Cap Badge is an original military insignia worn by members of the Suffolk Regiment during the Second World War. This badge typically features the unit’s distinct emblem—a central castle design, representative of the Gibraltar castle, set within a laurel wreath and surmounted by a crown. Below, a scroll displays the regiment’s name. Constructed from brass or sometimes white metal, the badge was affixed to the regimental headdress, such as the service cap or beret, using lugs or a slider on the reverse. The Suffolk Regiment, established in 1685, played a significant role in various campaigns throughout the war, and the cap badge served as an important identifier of regimental affiliation. Today, this item provides a tangible link to the British Army’s history and the distinctive identity of the Suffolk Regiment during the 1939–1945 conflict. Its design reflects both tradition and military heritage.
