Army Service Corps cap badge produced as a restrike of the solid strike pattern worn between 1901 and 1922 by the Army Service Corps of the British Army. This British Army corps cap badge displays the recognised insignia of the unit in clear relief, incorporating the initials “ASC” and Royal motto in a circlet as the central device, supported by a wreath and starburst design, surmounted by the King’s Crown, arranged in a composition characteristic of early twentieth-century British Army headdress insignia.
The Army Service Corps was responsible for the supply and transport of food, fuel, and equipment, forming a vital part of the British Army’s logistical structure. This pattern of badge was worn during the First World War, when the corps expanded significantly to support large-scale operations on the Western Front and other theatres.
Manufactured in brass as a solid struck example, this restrike provides a sharply defined and robust representation of the original regimental pattern. Army Service Corps cap badges are collected as examples of British Army corps militaria, First World War insignia, and historic uniform hardware.
