The badge features an eight-pointed radiating starburst with a rearing horse and a scroll at the bottom bearing the text “CARLETON YORK” alongside a central motto ribbon. The pattern dates from approximately 1936 to 1954, covering the regiment’s service during the Second World War and the immediate post-war period.
