Original WW1-era officer’s cap badge for the British Army Chaplains’ Department.
This first pattern features a minimalist square design with four stylized leaf motifs arranged in saltire (X-form), surmounted by a King's Crown. The badge is die-cast alloy with a blackened finish. Fitted with two original rear straps for attachment.
This distinctive design was issued during the Great War to commissioned chaplains, reflecting their non-combatant role.
A scarce and historically important item ideal for collectors of WW1 militaria, British Army insignia, or chaplaincy history.
