Royal Northumberland Fusiliers silver-plate lapel badge, original example of regimental insignia associated with the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers. Designed for civilian wear, this badge allowed former servicemen, supporters, and members of regimental associations to display their connection to one of the British Army’s most distinguished Fusilier regiments.
The badge features the regiment’s iconic flaming grenade emblem in relief, with St. George slaying the dragon and incorporating the regimental motto “Quo Fata Vocant” (Whither the Fates Call), characteristic of the Royal Northumberland Fusiliers. Finished in silver plate, the badge presents an attractive appearance while retaining the distinctive identity of the regiment.
Lapel badges of this type were commonly worn on civilian jackets and coats as a symbol of regimental pride and affiliation. Such badges became particularly popular among veterans following military service and were frequently issued or purchased through regimental associations and commemorative organisations.
The Royal Northumberland Fusiliers traced their origins to 1674 and enjoyed a long and distinguished history of service throughout the British Empire. The regiment served with distinction during the Second Boer War, the First World War, and World War II. In 1968, it became part of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, continuing its traditions within the modern British Army.
Manufactured in silver-plated metal with a broach pin fitting to the reverse, this example represents an attractive piece of British regimental and veterans’ memorabilia.
