WWI Royal Artillery Second Lieutenant's Framed Insignia
WWI Royal Artillery Second Lieutenant's Framed Insignia
3913
A thoughtfully presented framed group of First World War Royal Artillery dress buttons and badges, assembled for a Second Lieutenant and including a cap badge by Lambourne of Birmingham. This evocative display brings together the principal elements of an officer's uniform insignia, preserving the distinctive heraldry and craftsmanship associated with one of the British Army's most important wartime branches.
At the centre of the group is the Royal Artillery cap badge, with its instantly recognisable field gun motif and the motto *Ubique*-"Everywhere"-a reference to the regiment's historic service across the globe. The accompanying dress buttons and insignia reflect the formal quality of an officer's uniform, carefully made in gilt metal and intended to convey rank, regiment, and military identity.
The Lambourne of Birmingham maker's mark adds a valuable point of interest. Birmingham was a major centre for the production of British military accoutrements, and named examples offer a tangible connection to the specialist manufacturers who supplied officers' uniform furnishings during the Great War.
As a framed display, the group offers both visual impact and historical resonance. It would make a compelling addition to a collection of First World War militaria, British regimental insignia, or Royal Artillery memorabilia, and would display particularly well in a study, library, or military-themed interior.
