| The cap badge for the Yorkshire Regiment includes the White Rose of Yorkshire, the name of the regiment, and the Duke of Wellington's cypher. The badge is as shown below. |
Out of historical interest, the Green Howards cap badge is described below.
| The Green Howard's cap badge was personally designed by Queen Alexandra,
when she was Princess of Wales, to incorporate the Dannebrog (the Cross
of Denmark) and her personal cypher (the A) the whole being surmounted
by her Princess's coronet. The date 1875 commemorates when she was first
associated with the Regiment, and the roman numerals "XIX" denote the
19th Regiment of Foot. The Museum has a display of examples of every cap badge that has been used by the Regiment from 1872 to the present. Below are some photographs of some of the cap badges that are on display in the Museum. |
