Default New Royal Wessex Yeomanry badge

Just found this on the regiment's Facebook page.

"Since 2014 the Non-Commissioned Officers and Soldiers of the Regiment have been wearing a temporary cap badge. Very soon the Regiment will receives its official cap badge. On the left is the current black and silver cap badge, and on the right the new, blue, gold and silver cap badge. A great looking cap badge don't you think? Inscribed are the words 'Honi soit qui mal y pense', which is an old Anglo-Norman maxim that means, 'May he be shamed who thinks badly of it'."

I’ve been told the regiment has as yet not been issued their new badge.

They are still wearing a mix of the plastic one and the RAC badge. Their affiliated Cadets are all wearing RAC badges.

Nice looking badge! It's never ending - another badge to look out for.

Same motto as the Grenadier Guards, and others "Evil be to him who evil thinks".

Another new Royal Wessex Yeomanry badge.

Not as yet issued it will only be worn by officers and WO1's on their dress caps. Berets will be the woven wired version.
