Item Description

Original Items: Only One Lot of 30 Available. Soldiers’ headwear has always featured some form of insignia demonstrating regimental identity. Over the years, the design of these badges has evolved, reflecting changes to unit names, structures and traditions, as well as uniform regulations.

Soldiers wear a badge on their uniform as a way of identifying the regiment or corps to which they belong. Many badges feature symbols that are important to the unit. These might include links to a sovereign or royal dynasty, the regiment’s city or county origins, or a famous battle honor.

Originally, the colonel of a regiment could put whatever device he chose onto his soldiers’ headdress. But things became more regulated from the mid-1700s. Since then, the design of regimental badges has been controlled by the Army’s high command.
