WW2 British 4th Queen’s Own Hussars Cap Badge

The WW2 British 4th Queen’s Own Hussars Cap Badge is a metal insignia worn by members of the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars, a cavalry regiment of the British Army. Established in the late 17th century, the regiment played a significant role during both the First and Second World Wars. The cap badge typically features a brass or white metal design, displaying the regiment’s emblem: the laurel wreath surmounted by a crown, with regimental scrolls bearing the unit’s title. During the Second World War, members of the 4th Queen’s Own Hussars, originally a horse-mounted regiment, served as an armoured unit in various theatres of conflict, including North Africa, Greece, and Italy. Cap badges such as this were affixed to the service dress or beret, denoting membership and regimental identity. The item provides a tangible link to the history of the British cavalry and military insignia from the period of the Second World War.
