WW2 British The Queen’s Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British The Queen’s Regiment Cap Badge is a metal insignia that was worn on the service caps of soldiers serving in The Queen’s Regiment during the Second World War. Typically constructed from brass, white metal, or a bronze finish for officers, the design prominently features the Garter star with the motto “Honi Soit Qui Mal Y Pense” encircling a central element, often the royal cipher or regimental device. The badge served as a key identifier for members of The Queen’s Regiment, reflecting unit affiliation and regimental heritage. These badges were attached to headgear using lugs or sliders soldered to the reverse. Worn from the early years of World War II until the post-war period, the badge’s design reflects the traditions and heraldic elements associated with the regiment’s long history within the British Army. This item represents a typical example of mid-20th century British military insignia and regimental identity.
