WW2 British 14th/20th King’s Hussars Cap Badge

The WW2 British 14th/20th King’s Hussars Cap Badge is an original insignia from a cavalry regiment of the British Army formed by the amalgamation of the 14th and 20th Hussars in 1922. The badge typically features a laurel wreath encircling the regimental number “XIV” superimposed on “XX,” surmounted by the monarch’s crown, and accompanied by a scroll inscribed “The King’s Hussars.” Manufactured in brass for other ranks during the Second World War, the badge was worn on the service dress cap to denote regimental affiliation. The 14th/20th King’s Hussars served in various theaters during World War II, including North Africa and Italy, and was part of the Royal Armoured Corps. The cap badge exemplifies period British military insignia design and construction, and remains a recognizable emblem of this historic cavalry unit’s identity and service during the conflict.
