EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1915 showcases the distinctive badges of thirty-one cavalry regiments in the British Army during World War 1. The regiments are divided into three categories: three Household Cavalry Regiments and twenty-eight Line Regiments. Among the Line Regiments, seven are Dragoon Guards, three Dragoons, six Lancers, and twelve Hussars. Each regiment's badge is richly detailed and unique, reflecting the proud history and heritage of these elite military units. The Household Cavalry Regiments, represented in this print, include the Life Guards, the Blues and Royals, and the Royal Horse Guards. These regiments were the Queen's bodyguard and were responsible for escorting her on official engagements. The Dragoon Guards, depicted in this selection, include the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 7th, and 9th Regiments. These regiments were renowned for their heavy cavalry charges and were often deployed in the vanguard of the British Army. The Dragoon Regiments, represented here, are the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Regiments. These regiments were versatile units that could operate both as cavalry and infantry, making them valuable assets in the ever-changing conditions of the battlefield. The Lancers, shown in this print, include the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 11th, 13th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, and 21st Regiments. These regiments were famous for their long, lance-tipped spears, which allowed them to engage the enemy at a distance. The Hussars, displayed in this selection, are the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, and 13th Regiments. These regiments were known for their light cavalry tactics and their ability to move quickly over long distances. This print is a testament to the rich history and diversity of the British Cavalry Regiments during World War 1. Each badge tells a story of valor, courage, and tradition, making this a fascinating and important piece of military history.
