WW2 British The Queen’s Regiment Cap Badge

This item is an original World War II-era cap badge for The Queen’s Regiment of the British Army. Typically manufactured from brass or white metal, the badge features the regimental emblem: a standing figure of Britannia within a laurel wreath, surmounted by a king’s crown, and a scroll inscribed with the regiment’s name. Cap badges like this were worn on the service dress caps of enlisted men and officers alike, serving as both a unit identifier and a symbol of regimental pride. The design reflects the traditions and insignia associated with The Queen’s Regiment, which traces its history to earlier infantry units such as the Queen’s Royal Regiment (West Surrey). This badge measures approximately 4–5 cm in height and is fitted with lugs or a slider on the reverse for attachment to headgear. It represents a typical example of British military insignia used during the Second World War.
