Can you please identify this badge. I presume it’s a lancer type regiment as he won an MC and bar in tanks before being KIA. He was previously with the Derbyshire Yeomanry.

Hi Pembird,
Looks like for the 9th (Queen's Royal) Lancers.
Cheers,
Tinto

Looks like a 9L blazer badge?

Agreed, 9th Lancers but too small for a blazer badge- suspect it's some kind of headdress badge but what headdress I don't know. As a general rule (certainly in my regiment) Officers didn't/don't wear blazer badges - ties and buttons and regimental pattern blazer were fine but blazer badges were considered vulgar and the preserve of the Sgt's Mess !
