Description: The design displays the royal cypher of Princess Alexandra composed of an interlaced double letter 'A' resting above a Dannebrog cross inscribed with a historic commemorative year. The name of the royal patron wraps dynamically across the central junction, while an Imperial Tudor Crown firmly anchors the highest point of the vertical structure. A complex arrangement of tiered, textured presentation banners lines the lower boundary to frame the geographic title, concluding with a small heraldic rose nesting at the very bottom center point.
Reverse: Gilt brass wire loop fittings and retaining pin system
Circa: 1902-1952
Notes:
This insignia identifies the famous 19th Regiment of Foot, more widely recognized throughout military history as the Green Howards, named after their mid-18th-century colonel to distinguish them from another regiment. The inclusion of the year 1875 commemorates the pivotal year Princess Alexandra of Denmark, then Princess of Wales, first presented new colors to the regiment and lent her personal cypher to their permanent heraldry.
