East Riding Yeomanry (Correct?)
Hi Peter et al,
Just to clarify, the East Riding Yeomanry cap badge prior to about 1908 was the running fox, as illustrated in post #1.
Sometime after 1908 the badge was replaced by an altered fox above a motto scroll as can be seen in post #5. The in-coming Colonel felt that the original badge looked more like a greyhound than a fox.
The fox worn as a shoulder badge by the Queen's Own Yorkshire Yeomanry (and Y Squadron, Queen's Own Yeomanry today) is the second pattern fox without a motto scroll - not the same fox as the pre-1908 cap badge.
These foxes are also different to the fox that adorns the cap badge of the Queen's Own Yeomanry.
Cheers,
Neil.
