WW2 British Lothians and Border Horse Cap Badge

The WW2 British Lothians and Border Horse Cap Badge is a military insignia worn by members of the Lothians and Border Horse regiment during the Second World War. The badge typically features a central device of a crowned thistle, signifying Scottish heritage, surrounded by a scroll with the regiment’s title. Manufactured in brass or white metal, the badge was designed for attachment to the standard service cap. The Lothians and Border Horse, converted from a yeomanry cavalry unit to an armoured regiment, served with distinction in various campaigns, including in France and North-West Europe. The cap badge represents the regiment’s identity and was an integral component of the British Army’s uniform during the period. Original examples of this insignia are sought after by collectors of militaria and those interested in British regimental history, reflecting the unit’s service and traditions during World War II.
