To while away the time, I have decided to present some badges in situ from some of my uniform collection. I always like to see insignia worn as intended. Please forgive my horrid photography!
I would certainly encourage others to participate as well.
To start off, this uniform belonged to Lt. Col. Lord William Montague Douglas Scott MC 10th Royal Hussars, later MP for Roxburgh and Selkirk, succeeding his older brother the 8th Duke of Buccleuch and Queensbury who resigned due some unfortunate German connection.
The ribbon bars indicate a distinguished service with the regiment in WW1 (I don't know the action that resulted in the MC; if anyone could research this ) and as Captain commanding the squadron the King's escort returning from Belfast by train when it was bombed by Sinn Fein terrorists killing four men and thirty horses in 1921.
The 10th, like the KRRC, always had an exceptionally large percentage of aristocratic officers and their mess bills reflected this!
I like the very light toned bronze collar badges and officer pattern shoulder titles.
The cap badge is silver and gilt with some quite visible polishing wear. I have not removed to see whether it has markings, as it is quite tightly affixed.
Always loved the ball buttons worn by Hussar regiments.
