WW2 British 19th Royal Hussars Collar Insignia Single

The item is a single collar insignia from the 19th Royal Hussars, a cavalry regiment of the British Army active during the Second World War. The insignia features the regiment’s distinctive emblem, typically produced using brass or white metal, designed for wear on the uniform collar. Such insignia helped identify the wearer’s unit and played a role in fostering regimental identity. The 19th Royal Hussars served in various theaters during the conflict, including the British Expeditionary Force in France and later operations in North West Europe. This collar badge reflects the standard pattern used during the period, characterized by precise detailing and a secure attachment mechanism on the reverse side. As a single piece, it would have originally formed one of a pair worn symmetrically on the soldier’s service dress. Collectors and historians often reference these insignia when studying British military organization and the evolution of regiment-specific insignia in the twentieth century.
