BRITISH ARMY - MILITARY PROVOST STAFF CORPS CAP BADGE

Military Provost Staff Corps Cap Badge

This Auction is for the Cap Badge as worn by the Military Provost Staff Corps, one of the smallest Corps in the British Army (with approx 30 staff).

The Military Prison Staff Corps was raised in 1901 and changed its title to Military Provost Staff Corps in 1906 but the badge remained, the Royal Cipher surmounted by the King's crown, in brass. The official task of the Corps is to make good soldiers out of bad. When a badge was issued bearing the Queen's crown and the new Royal Cipher a title scroll was added below, for a more distinctive design.

Brand New unissued brass metal Cap badge, 40mm high, complete with it's slider.

Guaranteed brand new and in mint condition.

Brief Corps History -

The Military Provost Staff Corps (MPSC) was the corps of the British Army which ran its military prisons. As the Military Provost Staff (MPS), the corps is now administratively part of the Adjutant General's Corps. It also provides operational support and technical advice for Prisoner of War handling during conflicts and monitors PoWs in custody. It is based at the Military Corrective Training Centre (MCTC) in Colchester, Essex.

The Military Prison Staff Corps was formed in 1901 under Army Order 241. It was redesignated the Military Provost Staff Corps in 1906. It became part of the Adjutant General's Corps (AGC) on 6 April, 1992, forming the Provost Branch along with the Royal Military Police. It retains a separate identity within the AGC, however, keeping its cap badge and other symbols.

The MPS does not recruit directly from civilian life, but only accepts applications from soldiers already serving in the Army. All its members hold a minimum rank of Sergeant.

On Tuesday 13 January, 2009 the MPS was presented a new Tactical recognition flash by the Provost Marshal.
