Product Description

Royal Pioneers Full Colour Cap Badge

Official MOD-Licensed Military Display Piece

Celebrate the proud heritage of the Royal Pioneers with this officially licensed Ministry of Defence cap badge display piece. One of the British Army's most distinctive corps, the Royal Pioneers trace their origins to 1346 and the Battle of Crécy, where pioneer soldiers first served as the fighting vanguard of the English army. Reformed as the Pioneer Corps in 1939, they served with distinction throughout the Second World War before being granted the Royal prefix in 1946 in recognition of their outstanding service. The Royal Pioneers were amalgamated into the Royal Logistic Corps in 1993, but their proud traditions and unique heritage endure.

This precision 3D-printed display faithfully reproduces the Royal Pioneers' distinctive cap badge in full colour and is supplied with an integrated keyhole wall mount, ready to display straight from the box.

About the Badge

The Royal Pioneers cap badge is one of the most heraldically distinctive in the British Army. Two gold pioneer axes cross in the shape of an X, overlaid by a silver falchion — the short, wide curved blade that has been the symbol of pioneer soldiers for centuries. A green laurel wreath encircles the base of the design, representing honour and achievement, while a King's Crown surmounts the whole, signifying loyal service to the Sovereign. A gold scroll at the base bears the title ROYAL PIONEERS, completing one of the most immediately recognisable cap badges in the British Army.

Ideal For

  • Royal Pioneers veterans

  • Royal Logistic Corps collectors

  • British Army memorabilia enthusiasts

  • Regimental display collections

  • Retirement and service gifts

My Battle with the Black Dog...

TheCraftyBlackdog has been created from my own battle with the Black Dog - a term most commonly used to describe a state of depression.

This was something I had unknowingly been battling for over 20 years following my time in the military. It wasn’t until I became a mother and I could no longer do the things I used to do, to escape, that things started to unravel and I had to ask for help, that was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, making that admission.

I first became interested in arts and crafts in 2019 whilst at a place called ‘Combat Stress’ in Surrey, this is where Military Veterans like myself can go and get help for Mental Health matters. Whilst there I discovered Art Therapy (I hated art at school!) and a love for making things in the OT room. I started by making Remembrance Day related crafts and this quickly moved onto Military Insignia.

The Black Dog has stolen the mass of confidence I used to have, so I am hoping this adventure will help me to connect with people again and inspire those of you out there also having your own battle, it is one that may never be won, but it certainly can be helped.
