Default Royal Lancers Proposed Insignia

Hi

A little more information for you all.

Shoulder Titles: 'ROYAL LANCERS' in Gold stay-bright metal. All Ranks.

Buttons: Domed Stay-bright, mounted, with Death's head backed by cross lances. Other ranks. Officers & WO1's similar but in brass.

Collar Dogs: Queen Adelaide's Cipher. Gold stay-bright metal. All Ranks.

Forage Cap 'Motto': All metal, nickel silver Death's head backed by cross lances c/w 'OR GLORY' scroll. The lance pennants will be in Red & White enamel and the scroll in Blue. Other Ranks.

Pouch Device: The 'Queens Badge'. Previously worn by the 16/5L. (Queen Charlotte's Cipher & Irish Harp).

Crew commanders: Rolls-Royce Armoured Car in Gold bullion on Scarlet back ground. No.1 Dress WO2 and below. No.2 Dress background Black.

It is interesting to note that at this point of time, there is no proposed WO/NCO Arm Badge. I wonder if we are heading the same way as did the QRL? as they did not have one until well after amalgamation, but we'll see.

If anyone has any questions regarding other proposed dress or insignia please contact me, I will do my best to answer.

Rob
