WW2 British Scottish Horse Cap Badge

The WW2 British Scottish Horse Cap Badge is a metal insignia historically worn by members of the Scottish Horse regiment of the British Army during the Second World War. The badge typically features a depiction of a St. Andrew’s cross with a central thistle motif, surrounded by a scroll bearing the regiment’s name. Produced in brass or white metal, the badge was designed to be affixed to the headdress, serving as a symbol of unit identity and affiliation. The Scottish Horse was originally raised as a yeomanry regiment in the early 20th century and served with distinction during both world wars, particularly in reconnaissance and support roles. Cap badges like this example were a standard part of British military uniform, reflecting regimental heritage and traditions. The design, materials, and construction methods are characteristic of wartime British army insignia, making this cap badge a representative artifact from the period.
