32nd (Cornwall) Regiment of Foot Glengarry cap badge, a restrike example based on the historic insignia of the 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment of Foot. This regiment, later amalgamated into the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, served with distinction in numerous campaigns across the 18th and 19th centuries as part of the British Army’s line infantry.
The badge design features the regiment’s distinctive device in relief, incorporating a crowned numeral “32” within a rifles or light infantry bugle, surmounted by the Victorian crown. Such elements reflect regimental identity and heritage, presenting a clear and recognisable form associated with Cornwall and its military history.
Glengarry badges of this type were worn on the traditional Scottish-style Glengarry cap, adopted for undress or field wear by various regiments. These badges served as identifiers of regimental affiliation while conforming to established British Army uniform practice.
This restrike example has been manufactured to replicate the appearance and detailing of original period badges. While not of contemporary manufacture, it offers an accurate and accessible representation suitable for collectors, display, or reenactment use.
Constructed in brass with standard fittings to the reverse, this badge provides a durable and well-defined example of British regimental insignia. Items relating to the 32nd (Cornwall) Regiment are widely collected within British militaria, particularly for their regional associations and historical significance.
