WW1 British BEF Glamorgan Yeomanry Cap Badge

The WW1 British BEF Glamorgan Yeomanry Cap Badge represents the Welsh regiment that served as part of the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War. Formed as a unit of the Territorial Force, the Glamorgan Yeomanry was mobilized in 1914 and played a role in various theatres, including the Western Front and the Middle East. The cap badge is typically produced in bi-metal, featuring a prominent gilt or brass dragon, a symbol associated with Wales, above a silver or white metal scroll inscribed “Glamorgan Yeomanry.” The reverse of the badge is generally fitted with lugs for attachment to military headwear. This badge would have been worn by enlisted men and non-commissioned officers of the regiment. Such cap badges are collectible items, offering insight into the insignia, identity, and regimental history of British cavalry units during the Great War period, and reflect the regional pride of Glamorgan within the British Army.
