Original WW1-era officer’s cap badge for the British Army Chaplains’ Department.
This rare 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 and silver plated alloy, fitted with two original rear lugs for attachment. The surface finish with some discolouration.
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.
