Remembered Today:

Regimental Badges


Guest Hussar

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

As the Guards had their own Machine Gun Regiment and Insignia, I was wondering about other Units.

My Grandfather was in the 18th Hussars and then in a Cavalry Machine Gun Squadron.

Would he have continued to wear:-

A) His Hussars Insignia with a MG Patch?

B) MGC Insignia? or

C) Did the Cavalry MG Squadrons have there own Insignia?

He would have worn MGC badges and MGC/CAV shoulder titles; unofficially, especially in the early days of the MGC, some men wore their old regimental badges on their collars; they seems to have disappeared by 1917.
