19th (St Pancras) Battalion, London Regiment officer’s button, 19mm example of British Army uniform insignia associated with the London Regiment. This battalion formed part of the Territorial Force and later the Territorial Army, drawing its identity from the St Pancras area of London.

The button design features the battalion’s number in Roman numerals, “XIX” and the King’s crown, with the specific battalion title “St Pancras, County of London”. Officers’ examples are of higher-quality manufacture, with sharper detailing and a refined finish compared to other ranks’ versions.
