The Royal Artillery Cap Badge: History, Symbolism and Meaning
Introduction
Among the cap badges worn by the British Army, few carry the breadth of history borne by that of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. At its centre sits a field gun — the weapon that has defined the regiment's battlefield role for more than three centuries — surmounted by a Royal Crown and accompanied by two of the most celebrated mottos in the British Army: Ubique and Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt. It is a badge that tells, in a single image, the story of a regiment that has served wherever the British Army has fought.
The Royal Artillery is one of the oldest and largest regiments in the British Army. Formally established in 1716, it has served in virtually every major conflict involving British forces — from the battlefields of Flanders and the plains of India to the deserts of North Africa, the jungles of Burma, and the mountains of Afghanistan. That extraordinary breadth of service is encoded in a single Latin word on the badge: Ubique — Everywhere.
This guide explores the origins of the Royal Regiment of Artillery and its cap badge, the history and symbolism of each element, the regiment's operational record, and what collectors should know when seeking an original or licensed example of this remarkable piece of British military heritage.

Did You Know?
The Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers are the only two corps in the British Army to hold Ubique — Latin for Everywhere — as a battle honour, in place of individual campaign honours. This single word acknowledges service in every theatre in which the British Army has fought.
Who Are the Royal Regiment of Artillery?
The Royal Regiment of Artillery — universally known as the Royal Artillery or simply the Gunners — is one of the oldest, largest and most distinguished formations in the British Army. Formally established by Royal Warrant on 26 May 1716, the regiment was created to provide the British Army with a permanent, professional artillery arm. From its earliest days, the Royal Artillery attracted men of technical skill and scientific knowledge, reflecting the increasingly complex demands of artillery warfare.
The regiment's history spans more than three centuries of continuous service. A key dates timeline is provided below, but the full story of the Royal Artillery's operational record is explored in the Operational Legacy section of this article.
The Royal Horse Artillery and the Royal Garrison Artillery
The Royal Regiment of Artillery encompasses several distinct branches, each with its own traditions and history. The Royal Horse Artillery (RHA) — the most senior branch of the regiment — was formed in 1793 as Britain's horse artillery, created to provide highly mobile artillery support to cavalry formations. In horse artillery batteries, the entire battery was mounted, allowing the guns to manoeuvre rapidly alongside cavalry formations — a level of battlefield mobility that distinguished the RHA from other branches of the Royal Regiment of Artillery. It is this historical mounted role, not any difference in parade-ground marching cadence, that defines the RHA's distinctive character. Both the Royal Horse Artillery and the Royal Artillery march at the standard British Army quick march.
The Royal Horse Artillery retains its own proud traditions and a distinctive identity within the Royal Regiment of Artillery, reflected in its insignia as well as its history. In Service Dress — No.1 and No.2 uniform caps — RHA personnel wear the same Royal Artillery gun badge as the wider regiment. On the beret, however, they wear the Royal Horse Artillery Cypher, which is also worn as the collar badge. The standard Royal Artillery collar badge is the grenade (fusil bomb). These distinctions preserve the Royal Horse Artillery's unique identity within the Royal Regiment of Artillery while reflecting its long-standing traditions and heritage. Within the RHA, 3rd Regiment Royal Horse Artillery wears the Cypher on a red backing behind the beret badge, a distinction unique to that regiment.
The Royal Garrison Artillery (RGA) was a separate corps within the Royal Regiment responsible for operating heavy, siege and coastal artillery — the large-calibre guns that defended Britain's ports and fortifications and provided the heavy bombardment capability on the Western Front during the First World War. The RGA was amalgamated back into the Royal Regiment of Artillery in 1924, and its history forms an important part of the wider story of British artillery heritage.
What Does the Royal Artillery Cap Badge Represent?
The Royal Artillery cap badge represents the regiment's identity as the British Army's principal fire support arm, and its enduring commitment to the values of technical excellence, courage and loyalty to the Sovereign. The field gun at its centre is not merely a decorative device — it is a direct statement of the regiment's defining role and its contribution to every major conflict in which the British Army has fought. Together with the Royal Crown and the two mottos, the badge encodes more than three centuries of operational service in a single, immediately recognisable image.
Origins of the Royal Artillery Cap Badge
The Royal Artillery cap badge evolved over the nineteenth century as the regiment's identity and insignia became more formalised. The decision to place a field gun at the centre of the badge was a deliberate statement of identity — the regiment that provided the British Army's firepower would wear its defining weapon as its emblem.
Unlike many infantry regiments that adopted animals, heraldic devices or historical symbols, the Royal Artillery chose the instrument of its trade. The result is one of the most immediately recognisable and functionally honest cap badges in the British Army — a badge that tells you exactly what the regiment does and has always done.
The core elements of the design — the field gun, the Royal Crown, and the two mottos — have remained essentially unchanged for well over a century, giving the badge a consistency and durability that reflects the regiment's own enduring identity. Every officially licensed emblem and museum-style heritage display we create begins with the same meticulous historical research that underpins our Military Heritage series, ensuring historical accuracy is preserved from the written history through to the finished display.

The Royal Artillery Cap Badge: Design and Elements
The Royal Artillery cap badge is a composition of three principal elements — the field gun, the Royal Crown, and the mottos — each of which has been carefully chosen to reflect the identity and values of the regiment.
The Field Gun
The field gun at the centre of the badge is the regiment's defining symbol and the element that makes the Royal Artillery badge immediately recognisable among the hundreds of cap badges produced for the British Army. It is a direct reference to the regiment's specialist role as the British Army's principal fire support arm — the formation responsible for delivering artillery fire in support of ground operations.
The gun depicted is a stylised representation of a historic field artillery piece, representative of the type of ordnance that defined the Royal Artillery's battlefield role from the eighteenth century onwards. Although modern Royal Artillery equipment has evolved far beyond the field gun — encompassing precision-guided rockets, air defence systems and self-propelled howitzers — the historic gun has been deliberately retained as the regiment's enduring symbol, preserving a direct visual link to its origins and the centuries of service that preceded the modern era.
The Royal Crown
Surmounting the badge is the Royal Crown, the fundamental symbol of the regiment's loyalty to the Sovereign and its status as a corps of the Crown. As with all British military cap badges, the form of the Crown reflects the reigning monarch at the time of manufacture — and for collectors, identifying the correct crown pattern is one of the most reliable tools for dating a badge.
Badges produced during the reigns of King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and King Charles III are universally known to collectors and veterans as the King's Crown. The heraldically correct name for this crown pattern is the Tudor Crown — a closed imperial crown with alternating crosses patée and fleurs-de-lis on the circlet, and a distinctive arched form that has been used in British military heraldry for centuries. Collectors and veterans almost universally refer to it simply as the King's Crown, and that familiar term is used throughout this article; Tudor Crown is the precise heraldic name for the same form.
Following the accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1952, the badge was updated to display a different crown pattern, universally known to collectors and veterans as the Queen's Crown. The heraldically correct name for this pattern is St Edward's Crown — a more rounded, cushion-shaped crown with a distinctive profile that differs visibly from the Tudor Crown used under the Kings. This version was worn from 1952 until Queen Elizabeth II's death in 2022. The current badge, introduced following the accession of King Charles III, returns to the Tudor Crown — the King's Crown — pattern.
Ubique
The motto Ubique — Latin for Everywhere — is the most celebrated and distinctive feature of the Royal Artillery cap badge. It was granted by King William IV in 1832, confirmed by General Order in 1833, in recognition of the Royal Artillery's service in virtually every theatre in which the British Army had fought. Rather than listing individual battle honours — as infantry regiments do — the Royal Artillery was granted a single word that acknowledged service everywhere. Because Ubique serves as the regiment's battle honour, the Royal Artillery does not display the long lists of named engagements that appear on most infantry regimental colours.
The Royal Artillery and the Royal Engineers are the only two corps in the British Army to hold Ubique as a battle honour — a distinction that reflects the universal nature of their service. Ubique is not a motto in the conventional sense — it is a formal battle honour, and it appears on the badge in that capacity. For veterans of the regiment, it is a source of immense pride and a reminder of the extraordinary breadth of the Gunners' service.
Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt
The second motto, Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt — meaning Where Right and Glory Lead — reflects the regiment's commitment to duty, honour and service. Together with Ubique, it forms one of the most recognisable combinations of military mottos in the British Army, encapsulating both the breadth of the regiment's service and the values that have guided it throughout its history.
Operational Legacy: Three Centuries of Service
The Royal Artillery's significance extends across more than three centuries of British military history. The regiment has served in virtually every major conflict involving the British Army, providing the fire support that has underpinned British military operations from the age of muskets to the era of precision-guided munitions.
The Napoleonic Wars
During the Napoleonic Wars (1793–1815), the Royal Artillery served across Europe, Egypt, the Caribbean and beyond, providing the firepower that supported Wellington's campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula and at Waterloo. The regiment's performance during this period helped establish its reputation as one of the most professional and technically accomplished formations in the British Army.
The First World War
The First World War (1914–1918) transformed the Royal Artillery into the dominant arm of the British Army. Artillery was responsible for the majority of battlefield casualties on the Western Front, and the regiment expanded enormously to meet the demands of industrial-scale warfare. By 1918, the Royal Artillery comprised hundreds of batteries serving across every theatre of the war, from Flanders to Mesopotamia. The sophistication of artillery tactics developed during this period — including predicted fire, counter-battery work and the creeping barrage — shaped military doctrine for generations. Throughout this period, the Royal Signals' predecessor, the Royal Engineers Signal Service, maintained the communications links upon which the Royal Artillery's fire control depended.
The Second World War
In the Second World War (1939–1945), the Royal Artillery again served in every theatre of operations — from the Western Desert and Italy to north-west Europe and the Far East. Royal Artillery regiments provided the fire support that underpinned every major British offensive, from El Alamein to the Rhine crossing. The regiment also operated anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns, reflecting the increasingly diverse demands of modern warfare. Royal Artillery units worked in close coordination with armoured formations — including the Royal Tank Regiment — whose advances depended on the suppressive fire that the Gunners provided. The Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME), formed in 1942, kept the Royal Artillery's guns and vehicles operational throughout the campaign.
The Cold War and Beyond
During the Cold War, the Royal Artillery formed a key part of the British Army of the Rhine, providing the nuclear and conventional fire support that underpinned NATO's defence of Western Europe. In more recent decades, the regiment has served in the Gulf War (1991), Bosnia, Kosovo, Iraq (2003–2009) and Afghanistan (2001–2014), adapting its capabilities to the demands of modern expeditionary warfare. Throughout all of these campaigns, the regiment's soldiers have served under successive versions of the same iconic badge and the same mottos that their predecessors carried into battle at Waterloo and the Somme.
The Royal Artillery Today
Today, the Royal Artillery remains the British Army's principal fire support arm, equipped with a diverse range of modern systems that reflect the full spectrum of contemporary warfare. These include the L118 Light Gun — the regiment's versatile towed artillery piece — alongside the Archer self-propelled howitzer, the GMLRS (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System) for precision long-range fires, and the Sky Sabre air defence system. Despite this technological transformation, the cap badge has remained largely unchanged — the historic field gun at its centre continuing to symbolise over three hundred years of artillery heritage, connecting today's Gunners to the men who served at Waterloo, the Somme and El Alamein.
Collecting the Royal Artillery Cap Badge
The Royal Artillery cap badge is a rewarding subject for collectors of British military insignia. Its long production history — spanning from the Victorian era through to the current King's Crown (Tudor Crown) version — means that the collecting field is rich and varied, with examples covering more than a century of British military history. At Precision Military Emblems, our research into Royal Artillery insignia informs both our Military Heritage articles and the design of our officially licensed heritage displays — ensuring that every product we produce is built upon the same historical accuracy we apply to our writing.
King's Crown Badges (Tudor Crown)
Badges produced during the reigns of King Edward VII (1901–1910), King George V (1910–1936), King George VI (1936–1952) and King Charles III (2022–present) are known to collectors and veterans as King's Crown badges. The heraldically correct name for this crown pattern is the Tudor Crown — the form used in British military heraldry under all reigning kings. Minor variations in the execution of the Tudor Crown may be encountered between manufacturers and production periods, but all are authentic period examples. George V and George VI era King's Crown badges are particularly sought after, especially those with documented provenance linking them to named soldiers or specific campaigns.
Queen's Crown Badges (St Edward's Crown)
The majority of Royal Artillery cap badges encountered by collectors will be Queen's Crown versions, produced between 1952 and 2022 during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The heraldically correct name for this crown pattern is St Edward's Crown — a more rounded, cushion-shaped form that is visibly distinct from the Tudor Crown used under the Kings. Collectors and veterans refer to it universally as the Queen's Crown, and that familiar term is used throughout this article. Within this broad category, collectors should look for variations in construction method, metal composition and maker's marks that can help establish the period of manufacture more precisely. Early Queen's Crown badges are typically constructed from gilded or silvered brass, with hand-soldered fittings. From the late 1950s onwards, Staybrite anodised aluminium badges were introduced as a more practical alternative for everyday wear.
Victorian Badges
Badges produced during the reign of Queen Victoria (1837–1901) are among the rarest and most historically significant examples in the Royal Artillery collecting field. These early badges reflect the period when the regiment's cap badge design was still evolving, and well-preserved examples with documented provenance are particularly desirable.
Officers' Badges
As with other British Army regiments and corps, officers' Royal Artillery cap badges were typically produced to a higher standard than other-ranks' badges, often in silver or silver plate with finer detail and higher quality construction. Officers' badges are among the most desirable items for serious collectors and command a premium at specialist militaria auctions.
Recognised Manufacturers and Maker's Marks
Two makers are particularly associated with quality Royal Artillery cap badges: J.R. Gaunt & Son of London and Birmingham, and Firmin & Sons of London — both long-established suppliers of British Army insignia whose marks are widely regarded as reliable indicators of quality and authenticity. Later production badges, particularly from the 1960s onwards, were also produced in Staybrite anodised aluminium by various approved manufacturers. Maker's marks are typically found on the reverse of the badge, either stamped into the metal or on a small label.
Provenance and Authenticity
Provenance is the single most important factor in determining the value of an original Royal Artillery cap badge. A badge accompanied by service records, a soldier's photograph, or other documentation that establishes its history tells a far richer story than the insignia alone. Collectors should examine the reverse of any badge carefully for maker's marks, fitting types and construction details that help confirm authenticity and establish the period of manufacture. When in doubt, consult a specialist militaria dealer or auction house with experience in British military insignia.
Displaying the Royal Artillery Cap Badge
Whether displaying an original period badge or a heritage display inspired by the Royal Artillery's insignia, correct preservation and presentation are essential to ensure that the badge can be appreciated by future generations. Museum-style display frames incorporating UV-protective acrylic or conservation-grade glazing and acid-free mounting materials offer the best protection for displayed badges. Badges should be kept in a stable environment, away from direct sunlight and significant fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Original period badges should always be handled with clean cotton gloves to prevent damage from the oils and acids present in human skin.
Many collectors choose to display their Royal Artillery badge alongside service medals, photographs and other memorabilia, creating a comprehensive tribute to an individual's military service that tells the full story of their career in the regiment. Precision Military Emblems produces dedicated Royal Artillery heritage display frames purpose-built to present the Royal Artillery emblem alongside medals and service photographs — each one designed with the same attention to historical accuracy that informs our research.
Why the Royal Artillery Cap Badge Matters Today
The Royal Artillery cap badge matters because it encodes a genuinely unique distinction in British military history. Together with the Royal Engineers, the Royal Artillery is one of only two corps in the British Army to hold Ubique as a battle honour — a single word that acknowledges service everywhere, replacing the lists of named engagements that other regiments display on their colours. That distinction speaks to the extraordinary breadth of the Royal Artillery's contribution to British military history over more than three centuries.
For veterans of the regiment, the badge is a tangible connection to that heritage — to the regiment's history, its battle honours, and the comrades with whom they served. For collectors of British military insignia, it is one of the most distinctive and historically significant pieces available. For military historians, it is a physical artefact that encodes the story of one of the most important formations in the history of the British Army.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the elements of the Royal Artillery cap badge?
The Royal Artillery cap badge consists of three principal elements: a field gun at the centre, a Royal Crown surmounting the design, and two mottos — Ubique (Everywhere) and Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt (Where Right and Glory Lead). Together these elements represent the regiment's specialist role, its loyalty to the Sovereign, and the values of duty and honour that have guided it throughout its history.
What does Ubique mean?
Ubique is a Latin word meaning Everywhere. It was granted to the Royal Artillery by King William IV in 1832 as a formal battle honour, in recognition of the regiment's service in virtually every theatre in which the British Army had fought. Rather than listing individual battle honours, the Royal Artillery was granted a single word that acknowledged service everywhere. The Royal Artillery and the Royal Engineers are the only two corps in the British Army to hold this distinction.
What does Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt mean?
Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt is a Latin phrase meaning Where Right and Glory Lead. It is the Royal Artillery's regimental motto, reflecting the regiment's commitment to duty, honour and service. Together with Ubique, it forms one of the most recognisable combinations of military mottos in the British Army.
When was the Royal Artillery established?
The Royal Regiment of Artillery was formally established by Royal Warrant on 26 May 1716. It has served continuously since that date, making it one of the oldest continuously serving artillery formations in the British Army.
What is the difference between the King's Crown and Queen's Crown versions?
Badges produced during the reigns of King Edward VII, King George V, King George VI and King Charles III are known to collectors and veterans as King's Crown badges. The heraldically correct name for this crown pattern is the Tudor Crown — a closed imperial crown with a distinctive arched form that has been used in British military heraldry for centuries. Badges produced during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II (1952–2022) are known as Queen's Crown badges; the heraldically correct name for this pattern is St Edward's Crown, a more rounded, cushion-shaped form that is visibly distinct from the Tudor Crown. Collectors and veterans refer to both patterns by the familiar King's Crown and Queen's Crown terms, and those are the names used throughout this article. The current badge, introduced following the accession of King Charles III in 2022, returns to the Tudor Crown — the King's Crown — pattern.
Is the Royal Artillery cap badge rare?
Queen's Crown (St Edward's Crown) Royal Artillery badges, produced between 1952 and 2022, are relatively available to collectors. King's Crown (Tudor Crown) badges from the George V and George VI eras are considerably rarer and are particularly sought after. Victorian-era badges are among the rarest and most historically significant examples. Officers' badges in silver or silver plate are also scarce and command a premium at specialist militaria auctions.
How can I tell if a Royal Artillery cap badge is genuine?
Key indicators of a genuine period badge include appropriate wear patterns consistent with actual use, period-correct construction methods, correct weight and metal composition, and maker's marks from recognised manufacturers such as J.R. Gaunt & Son or Firmin & Sons. The form of the Royal Crown — King's Crown (Tudor Crown) or Queen's Crown (St Edward's Crown) — helps establish the period of manufacture. Provenance documentation significantly enhances both authenticity and value. When in doubt, consult a specialist militaria dealer or the Royal Artillery Museum.
The Royal Artillery's Enduring Legacy
The Royal Regiment of Artillery has served the British Army for more than three centuries, from the battlefields of Marlborough's campaigns to the mountains of Afghanistan. Its cap badge — bearing the field gun of its trade, the Crown of loyalty, and the mottos of universal service and righteous purpose — is one of the most historically significant pieces of British military insignia ever produced. It is a badge that tells a story of technical excellence, sacrifice and enduring service that stretches back to the very foundations of the modern British Army.
For veterans of the regiment, it is a permanent reminder of their service and their comrades. For collectors, it is one of the most distinctive and immediately recognisable pieces of British military insignia available. For all who encounter it, it is a testament to the men and women who have served under the motto Ubique — everywhere — for more than three hundred years.
