Jewish Chaplain, Royal Army Chaplains Department (RAChD) Cap Badge, Queen’s Crown

A Queen’s Crown period cap badge for a Jewish Chaplain of the Royal Army Chaplains Department, representing the specialist branch responsible for spiritual support to Jewish personnel within the British Army. Introduced after the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, this pattern reflects the post-war period when the RAChD continued to expand its denominational representation. The badge features the Star of David prominently at the centre, surrounded by a laurel wreath and surmounted by the Queen’s Crown, symbolising both faith and service under the Crown. Crafted in blackened brass with well-defined detail, it is fitted to the reverse with standard lugs for attachment to the cap.

Dimensions
