Fifth London Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (RFA) Cap Badge – Restrike

Fifth London Brigade, Royal Field Artillery (RFA) cap badge, restrike example based on the original early 20th-century Territorial Force insignia worn by units of the Royal Field Artillery. This badge represents a London-based brigade formation, reflecting the structure of part-time volunteer artillery units prior to and during the First World War.

The design typically incorporates the classic Royal Artillery device in relief, featuring a field gun surmounted by the King’s crown, with the regimental title reading “Fifth London Brigade, RFA”, distinguishing it from standard Royal Artillery badges.

The Fifth London Brigade formed part of the Territorial Force, later the Territorial Army, and would have been mobilised for service during the First World War. Units of the Royal Field Artillery played a crucial role in providing mobile artillery support to infantry formations, operating field guns in support of frontline operations across multiple theatres.

This restrike example has been produced 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 as a replacement within a collection.

Manufactured in gilding metal with standard fittings to the reverse, this badge provides a durable and well-defined example of British artillery insignia. Royal Field Artillery badges, particularly those linked to specific Territorial units, are widely collected within First World War militaria and cap badge collecting.
