Queen’s Gurkha Engineers Cap

The badge features the regiment’s distinctive insignia in relief, incorporating traditional Gurkha motifs together with engineering symbolism reflecting its role within the army’s combat engineering and support structure.

Cap badges of this type were worn on military headwear by officers and other ranks of the Queen’s Gurkha Engineers, serving as a visible symbol of regimental affiliation and esprit de corps. The regiment traces its origins to Gurkha engineer units formed in the post-war period and has since served in a wide range of operational, humanitarian, and engineering roles around the world.

As part of the Brigade of Gurkhas, the Queen’s Gurkha Engineers inherited the renowned reputation for professionalism, courage, and loyalty associated with Gurkha soldiers. Their duties have included combat engineering, construction, infrastructure support, and specialist engineering operations in support of British military deployments.

Manufactured in silver-plated and gilt metal with original attachment fittings to the reverse, this example represents a distinctive piece of modern Gurkha and British Army military insignia.
