EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully crafted cap badge from around 1898. The badge, made of gilding metal and white metal, is associated with the East Yorkshire Regiment (The Duke of York's Own) and was worn by other ranks between 1898 and 1958. The intricate design features a white rose nestled within a near-closed laurel wreath on an eight-point rayed star. An inscribed scroll sits below the star, with six voids connecting it to the star. The scroll bears the words "East Yorkshire" highlighting the regiment's identity. Two lugs are positioned horizontally behind the east/west points of the star, allowing for secure attachment to a uniform or hat. This particular cap badge is part of a collection consisting of seventeen items associated with the East Yorkshire Regiment. With its attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship, this cap badge represents not only military identification but also serves as a symbol of pride for those who served in this esteemed regiment. Its gold and silver tones add elegance to any display or collection of militaria. As we admire this historic piece, let us remember the brave men who wore it proudly while serving their country under The Duke of York's Own banner.
