Royal Anglian Regiment Anodised Button – 25mm

Royal Anglian Regiment anodised button, 25mm example of British Army uniform insignia associated with the Royal Anglian Regiment. This pattern reflects the modern era of British military uniform manufacture following the regiment’s formation in 1964.

The button design features the regiment’s distinctive insignia in relief, incorporating decorative elements that reflect the regiment’s East Anglian heritage and infantry traditions. The anodised aluminium finish, commonly referred to as “staybrite”, provides a bright appearance while reducing the need for regular polishing and maintenance compared with earlier brass examples.

Buttons of this type were worn on service dress and other uniform garments by personnel of the Royal Anglian Regiment, serving both a practical fastening role and as a visible indicator of regimental affiliation. The 25mm size corresponds to use on tunics and outer garments where larger buttons were required.

The Royal Anglian Regiment was formed through the amalgamation of several historic county regiments from eastern England and became one of the British Army’s largest infantry regiments. The regiment has served in numerous operational deployments while maintaining strong regional and ceremonial traditions.

Manufactured in anodised metal with a shank fitting to the reverse, this example represents a classic piece of modern British regimental insignia suitable for collectors of military buttons and contemporary Army memorabilia.
