Cap badge Royal green jackets 1966 staybright

The cap badge, made in staybrite anodised aluminium, consists of a Maltese cross with the light infantry bugle in a central boss, surrounded by the name of the regiment. A selection of the regiment’s forebears’ battle honours are listed on the arms of the cross, with its first and arguably most important ‘Peninsular’ in a separate box at the top of the vertical arm. The cross is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves with a small naval crown at the bottom and a much larger St Edward’s crown on the top of the badge.
