Brass tunic button of the North Somerset Yeomanry, produced to the King’s Crown pattern used from 1902 until the mid-20th century. The design features a scalloped rim with a King’s Crown in the centre, encircled by the text “North Somerset Yeomanry”. These buttons were worn on full dress and service dress uniforms by members of the regiment, a yeomanry cavalry unit with origins dating back to the 18th century.
The button is die-struck brass with good relief, showing the characteristic detailing of early–mid 20th century military manufacture. The reverse retains its original fixed shank, typical of the period.
