Kent Yeomanry Blazer Button, a 20mm button associated with the historic Kent Yeomanry and the county’s long tradition of volunteer and part-time cavalry service. The Kent Yeomanry formed part of Britain’s Yeomanry forces, providing mounted personnel drawn from the county and maintaining a distinct regimental identity through successive reorganisations of the British Army.
Blazer buttons were used on civilian, veterans’ and regimental association clothing rather than standard field uniform, making examples of Yeomanry blazer buttons particularly relevant to collectors of regimental associations, veterans’ memorabilia and British cavalry insignia. This Kent Yeomanry example is of interest to collectors of Kent military history, British Yeomanry buttons, cavalry memorabilia and Commonwealth military uniform accessories.
The button provides a useful addition to collections covering the Kent Yeomanry and the wider history of Britain’s volunteer cavalry forces. Its smaller 20mm size is consistent with the type of button used on blazer or association garments, distinguishing it from larger service uniform buttons.
Dimensions
20mm diameter.
Condition
Good overall condition with light age-related wear and surface patination. The principal regimental details remain somewhat visible and the button is suitable for display or inclusion in a collection of British Yeomanry memorabilia.
