P.S. This isnt a cap badge, it was refered to by the 17th, 17th/21st and QRL as the 'Motto'.
Hi Jibba Jabba

Yes you are correct re the use of the title of the Motto, good to see that you make this distinction. I also deal with Regt HQ, we need to educate the masses in this regard.

By the way I an descended from a 17th Lancer Light Brigade member & survivor.

Cheers
