Material: Brass
Size: 28 mm x 8 mm
Description: This original metal uniform insignia, officially designated by the abbreviation "XRH," was worn on the epaulets of service dress and battle dress jackets by personnel serving in the 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own). Measuring 28mm wide by 8mm high, the title is die-struck from a durable brass alloy, featuring a crisp sans-serif typeface that ensured quick recognition on the battlefield. The reverse side remains entirely unmarked and is fitted with a pair of brazed loop fasteners designed to accept a standard cotter split pin. This specific format saw continuous action through the shifting frontlines of the twentieth century, marking the regiment's evolution from a traditional mounted horse cavalry unit into an armored vehicle unit fighting under the Royal Armoured Corps banner.
Circa: 1914-1950s
Notes:
This small shoulder title was worn by the 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own) on service dress during the First World War. Compact brass titles of this type offered a practical regimental identifier while keeping cavalry insignia simple and durable for field wear.
