Cap Badge - 20th Hussars
Cap Badge - 20th Hussars
This badge was sold by Jim Purdy for $20.00 on e-Bay in the Spring/Summer of 2017. This badge was deemed irrelevant to the museum. The money was used to purchase relevant badges for the collection.
The cap badge of the 20th Hussars was the letter H with a Roman numeral X either side, surmounted by a crown. The 20th Hussars was a cavalry regiment of the British Army. In 1922 it was amalgamated with the 14th Hussars to form the 14th/20th Hussars, which became the 14th/20th King's Hussars.
