Boer War Cap badge, Canadian? - British & Commonwealth Military Badge Forum

Hi all,

I was recently offered a group of Boer War medals, which also came with a Scots Guard cap badge to a British regiment. However, I saw this badge with slider in there and thought I had seen it in a Canadian book somewhere, there was another Canadian badge with a "C" and "S" crossed that looked similar. Its probably a common badge and I should know it, just can't think of it right now

Could anyone give me an idea?

Thanks!

British Army Service Corps...and I am not sure it is Boer War era.

Hi both. This is a Boer War ASC.

I took a look closer at the first pic posted. I have to ask, is that a pic accidentally in reverse or do you have a badge stamped in reverse.

Thank you both! I did accidentally reverse it btw- I'm embarrassed I forgot such a common one, to Bill A the badge came with both Queen and King South African Medals as well as his WW1 set, so I thought it might have been earlier.

The design of this ASC badge dates it to Ca. the start of WWI, so if related to the medals, I'd connect it to the WWI set.

The slider suggests that this badge was worn on a pugaree.
