Product Description
The Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) is a distinguished military organization based in the United Kingdom, with a history dating back to 1537, making it one of the oldest military units in the world. The HAC has played various roles throughout its existence, including those of infantry, artillery, and ceremonial duties. It is primarily a reserve regiment of the British Army and has contributed significantly to both national defense and ceremonial occasions.
The HAC's cap badge is an emblem of great significance, symbolizing its heritage and connection to the British Crown. The badge, manufactured by J.R. Gaunt & Son of London, features the Queen's Crown, indicating that it was issued during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. The design typically includes the crown atop a field gun, with the words "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE" around the outer edge, a motto of the Order of the Garter meaning "Shame on him who thinks evil of it." The inclusion of "J.R. GAUNT LONDON" on the badge identifies the maker, a company renowned for producing military insignia. This cap badge represents the HAC's long-standing tradition, prestige, and enduring service to the British nation
