20th Battalion (Blackheath and Woolwich), The London Regiment Cap Badge, Original

20th Battalion (Blackheath and Woolwich), The London Regiment cap badge, original issue example associated with this Territorial Force unit of the British Army. This badge displays the battalion’s distinctive device in clear relief, incorporating the white horse of Kent with the motto “Invicta”, with a scroll bearing the battalion and regimental title “20th Bttn, The London Regt”. The piece is executed in white metal, consistent with early twentieth-century manufacture.

The white horse of Kent reflects the battalion’s historic connection to the county of Kent. The 20th Battalion, formed as part of the London Regiment, served during the First World War with distinction, including service on the Western Front. Cap badges of this type were worn on service dress and field service caps, identifying battalion and regimental affiliation.

Manufactured in white metal with standard fittings to the reverse, this original example provides a well-defined representation of Territorial Force insignia from the First World War era. London Regiment badges are collected as examples of British Army infantry memorabilia, WWI insignia, and regimental cap badges with strong local associations.
