The Royal Tank Corps Cap Badge is a First World War brass King’s crown cap badge for members of the Tank Corps.
The Royal Tank Regiment (RTR) is a division of the British Army specializing in armored warfare. Previously referred to as the Tank Corps and the Royal Tank Corps, it operates under the Royal Armoured Corps. On July 5, 2012, plans were announced to merge the operational regiments—1st Royal Tank Regiment (1RTR) and 2nd Royal Tank Regiment (2RTR)—into a unified regiment named The Royal Tank Regiment, effective 2014.
Tanks made their debut at the Battle of Flers-Courcelette in September 1916, part of the larger Battle of the Somme in World War I. During this period, the six tank companies were organized under the Heavy Section of the Machine Gun Corps (MGC).
The cap badge measures 48 millimeters by 40 millimeters and is stuck in brass. The obverse features a Mark I tank and the words “Tank” and “Corps”. The reverse has a slider.
