Original cap badge used by the Free Belgian Forces during World War II, representing Belgian troops in exile after the fall of Belgium in 1940. The badge features a bold and detailed lion rampant, symbol of resistance and national pride, rendered in bronze-finished metal. This specific model was commonly worn by members of the Belgian Army aligned with Allied operations, notably in the UK and various European theaters.
The reverse is fitted with a long vertical lugs and retaining pin typical of WWII British and Commonwealth styles, which supported easy mounting on side caps or berets. This badge is highly representative of Belgian resilience and their contribution to the Allied victory.
