Army Corp Badges - Civil War

The Army Corps Badges – Civil War are accurate reproductions of the identification insignia worn by soldiers of the Union Army during the American Civil War. These civil war badges functioned as an important visual system to distinguish corps and divisions within the army.

These army corp badges were commonly worn on the top or left side of forage caps or kepis and were also sometimes displayed over the left breast of the uniform. Each army badge helped identify a soldier’s corps and division on the battlefield.

Each badge color represents a specific division within an Army Corps:

• Red — First Division

• White — Second Division

• Blue — Third Division

Designed for Civil War reenactment, living history impressions, display, or collection, these civil war badges provide an essential and historically correct detail for Union Army uniforms.
