WW2 British 11th Hussars Cap Badge

The WW2 British 11th Hussars Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of the 11th Hussars (Prince Albert’s Own), a distinguished British cavalry regiment. During the Second World War, the 11th Hussars played a significant role in reconnaissance and armored operations, notably serving in the North African Campaign. The badge typically features the emblematic crossed guidons (flags) surmounted by a crown and the regiment’s motto, “Treue und Fest” (Faithful and Strong). Constructed from brass or white metal, the cap badge was designed to be affixed to the front of the service cap. Its form and materials reflect the British Army’s standards for regimental insignia during the period. Collectors and historians regard this badge as an important artifact representing the identity and service of the 11th Hussars throughout the Second World War. The item remains a tangible link to the history and traditions of British armored cavalry forces.
