WW2 British Hertfordshire Yeomanry Cap Badge

The WW2 British Hertfordshire Yeomanry Cap Badge is an original example of the insignia worn by members of the Hertfordshire Yeomanry during the Second World War. This badge typically features a hart (stag) standing on a torse, representing the historic association with Hertfordshire. The hart is usually depicted within a wreath, often accompanied by the unit’s name inscribed on a scroll beneath the central design. Badges were most commonly manufactured in brass or white metal and affixed to headgear using slider fittings on the reverse. The Hertfordshire Yeomanry, a territorial cavalry regiment, served as part of the Royal Artillery during the war, and this badge was a symbol of regimental identity and pride. The design reflects traditional British military heraldry and is of particular interest to collectors specializing in cavalry, artillery, or British regimental insignia from the World War II period.
