WW2 British Queen’s Own West Kent Yeomanry Regiment Cap Badge

The WW2 British Queen’s Own West Kent Yeomanry Regiment Cap Badge is an original insignia issued to members of this territorial cavalry regiment during the Second World War. The badge is typically constructed from brass and features the distinctive design associated with the regiment: a white horse of Kent rearing above a scroll inscribed “West Kent Yeomanry,” with a crown positioned above. This emblem reflects the historic connection to the county of Kent and the regiment’s origins as a yeomanry unit. During World War II, the Queen’s Own West Kent Yeomanry served in various roles as the war effort required, having previously transitioned from cavalry to artillery. Cap badges like this one were worn on service caps as part of the standard uniform, serving as both identification and a symbol of regimental pride. The badge measures approximately 45mm by 40mm, with a slider or pair of lugs on the reverse for attachment.
