I have checked Ray Westlake's book and I think they match number 156 however the picture is very similar to the smaller officers version and no sizes are given.

Hello Michael

Your Titles appear to be OR's, their size is 14.7mm high 42.8mm wide, they were I believe introduced to be worn on Battle Dress, and according to 'The Dress distinctions of the 15th/19th Kings Royal Hussars' (1961) were a private purchase from PRI. Officers at that time wore XV.XIXH.

Therefore, I would suggest the larger 15/19H titles were worn during the period 1922 - 34.
Although, I don't believe its clear exactly when, the composite regiment as it was up until c.1929, relative Squadrons ceased wearing 15H & 19H titles. Was it then or earlier?
If anyone has the definitive answer to this I'm sure we would all be grateful to know.

I hope this is of help.

Rob
