New Beret Badge
Officers & WO1s
"Dress. Of principal interest will be the design of the future Royal Lancers cap badge. The absolute requirement for the cap badge was for a clear, impressive, memorable image which will instil a sense of professionalism and pride in all who wear it and all who support it. It was crucial to incorporate the best of our antecedent regiments, and we have spent some time, and not a small amount of money, developing numerous prototypes for consideration. From the outset we have been in agreement that the cap-badge must include the lances of 9/12L and the death’s head of the QRL. Cloth and metal designs were considered. The chosen, unified design delivers a striking balance, incorporating a cloth backing of crossed lances with a detached ‘or glory' banner in blue, below a metal skull and cross-bones. It is a simple, powerful, recognisable emblem which each and every Royal Lancer will be proud of." [CO 9th/12thL 21Nov13]
