Does anyone know of a rather good reference book that has all (with pictures) the BRITISH ARMY cap badges from WW2 in it with preferably and little back ground info about each regiment? If there is a general one on the market containing other countries aswell as British that would suffice Cheers for any help. Andy
The Kipling & King volumes seem to be seen as the "bible" of cap-badges by many... here's a link to the volume (volume 2) that covers WW2 (1919 - 1979)...Headdress Badges of the British Army: From the End of the Great War to the Present Day v.2: Amazon.co.uk: Arthur L. Kipling, Hugh L. King: Books
...a cheaper option (and certainly good enough for most needs) is John Gaylor's book... Military Badge Collecting: Amazon.co.uk: John Gaylor: Books
I have "Cap-Badges of the British Army 1939-45" by G L D Alderton, published by Spellmount. I have found it pretty good JIm
