Cap Badge - Royal Berkshire Regiment, other ranks version This badge depicts the China Dragon, a motif granted to the Berkshire Regiment's predecessor unit the 49th (Princess Charlotte of Wales's) (Hertfordshire) Regiment of Foot following its service in the First Opium War (1839-1842). The dragon sits above a scroll inscribed 'Royal Berkshire'.

In 1959, the regiment was amalgamated with the Wiltshire Regiment (Duke of Edinburgh's) to form the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire) which was also amalgamated, in 1994, with the Gloucestershire Regiment into the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment. In 2007, the RGBWR was amalgamated with the Devonshire and Dorset Regiment, the Royal Green Jackets and The Light Infantry to form The Rifles.
