British Boer War King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry Cap Badge

This is a British Boer War era cap badge for the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, a regiment of the British Army. The badge is constructed from brass and features the regiment’s traditional design, including the unique light infantry bugle motif with a central knot and the regimental title circled below. Cap badges of this type were worn on the service dress caps of enlisted men during the late Victorian period, particularly around the time of the Second Boer War (1899–1902). The Yorkshire Light Infantry played a notable role during the conflict in South Africa. Such badges identified the wearer’s regiment and were an important part of military uniform regulations. Collectors and historians value these artifacts for their historical significance and as examples of turn-of-the-century British military insignia. This badge is suitable for those studying British military history or assembling period-correct displays and uniforms.
