dragoons
hi 1314, your right in saying its a puzzlement, a gilding metal star should denote a dragoon regiment, as dragoon guards wore a white metal star, however there was no 5th dragoons. the 5th (princess charlotte of wales's)dragoon guards amalgamated with the 6th (inniskilling) dragoons in 1927 to become the 5/6th dragoons but no badges were produced (they still wore the old regiments insignia) so technically no 5th dragoons badge ever existed regards cavalryman
