The Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry 1956-71
Hi All
I am starting a new project on the QOYY 1956-71. I would be grateful for any pattern card info or relevant information :) I have started a new reference page here : - https://www.paoyeomanry.org.uk/QOYY/QOYYMainMenu.htm |
....does anyone know if the QOYY wore an NCO Arm Badge? Did the Squadrons wear their old ones?
|
Definately saw an arm badge on the uniform i saw. But cant recall for the life of me what it was.
ORs collars found in w/m with a single lug as well as anodised. Dont forget the running fox shoulder titles. |
Hi Mike
I have updated the QOYY pages with new images, the running fox STs included..... on the Officers chain mail. If the cap contains both the Hussars & Dragoons Rose.... then it makes sense that the East Riding is represented on the shoulder ? So the Hussars POWFs NCO arm badge would make sense? It looks like they did AA Buttons in both yellow & white for the Regiment. |
Have a look at the IWM collections Griff,some useful info on there. Search "Queens Own Yorkshire Yeomanry" then the "badges and insignia" tab.

I presume that it stands for Reserve and wasn't aware that TA/TAVR units wore them? |

SO..... was the AA created for the QOY HQ (QOYY) Squadron post 1971? |

Hi All
So it appears that the QOYY white metal cap badge was sealed on the 26th June 1957 and the QOYY AA was sealed on the 20th April 1960? |

So it would appear that the WM badge was worn for a period prior to AA and both were worn with WM collars (as the AA collars were sealed on 29/11/1972). |

In my own Yeomanry we started the amalgamated Regiment, in 1957, with a Bimetal cap badge made by Gaunt (large MM) and then got the AA "issued" in 1963. |

Now the next, and million dollar question, is were they actually issued / worn? As I mentioned previously the QC Dorset Yeo was definitely sealed but we know never issued in WM. So was this situation repeated with other Yeomanry? There’s a strong suspicion that it was with the QC Northumberland Yeo. Also the dates mean that for the first 6 months (at least) of the QOYY existence they presumably wore their old parent badges. |
