Collar
Badges - Artillery Corps
|
The Artillery Corps
collar badge has remained the same design since its introduction in 1924.
The first type is referred to as the "long scroll artillery badge".
As was the practice the badge was produced in two metals Silver for Officers and
Brass for Enlisted ranks. The long scroll was worn up to 1942 when it was
replaced by the smaller badge. As you can see the small badge has
been produced in a number of metals. The cloth badge which would
fall into the 1942 officers series was not worn. The brass long scroll
shown below has had the ends of the scroll clipped for some reason.
