British 24th 2nd Warwickshire Regiment of Foot Glengarry Cap Badge

The British 24th (2nd Warwickshire) Regiment of Foot Glengarry Cap Badge represents a piece of regimental insignia used by the British Army during the late 19th century. This badge was worn on the Glengarry cap, a traditional Scottish headdress adopted by many infantry regiments in the Victorian era. The design typically features the numerals “24” and a wreath, occasionally surmounted by a crown, signifying association with the 24th Regiment of Foot, later known as The South Wales Borderers. The 24th Regiment is particularly recognized for its role in the Anglo-Zulu War of 1879, most notably at Rorke’s Drift and Isandlwana. Constructed from brass or white metal, the cap badge formed part of the standard dress accouterments for non-commissioned officers and enlisted men. This item is of interest mainly to collectors and historians researching British military uniforms and insignia of the Victorian period.
