Cap badge, Royal Tank Regiment, 1939-1945

World War One tank facing left, within wreath, surmounted by crown, with motto, 'Fear Naught', on scroll below.

The early badges of the Tank Corps were of a similar design but with the World War One tank facing right. This was altered to avoid the impression of a tank in retreat.

The Royal Tank Regiment served on all fronts during the Second World War. Following the war the Royal Tank Regiment underwent a number of amalgamations and disbandments, with the number of regular battalions dwindling to two in 1994.
