Shoulder Badge of an RAF Chaplain

The RAF Chaplain's Branch was established in 1918 and is responsible for providing spiritual welfare and pastoral care to RAF personnel and their families, irrespective of rank or religious background. Despite being non-combatants, RAF chaplains are deployed with personnel to war zones. During the Second World War some chaplains became prisoners of war or lost their lives.

This shoulder badge was designed to be worn on a camouflaged combat jacket worn on active service.
