The badge features the regiment’s distinct design, often comprising a strung bugle horn with the regimental title on a scroll beneath. Manufactured primarily from brass or white metal, these badges were typically attached to the service cap or beret. The KSLI, originally formed in 1881, played a notable role in both world wars as an infantry regiment of the British Army.

The reverse of the badge commonly includes lugs or a slider mechanism for securing it to headgear.
