Berkshire Yeomanry brass button, King’s Crown pattern, a 25mm British military uniform button associated with the Berkshire Yeomanry, the county’s historic mounted volunteer and Territorial cavalry formation. The button bears the King’s Crown, placing the pattern within the period of George V and subsequent wartime use before the adoption of the Queen’s Crown following 1952. The Berkshire Yeomanry has a long history as a part-time cavalry regiment raised in Berkshire, with service traditions extending from the Volunteer era through the First and Second World Wars.
Produced in brass for military uniform use, this Berkshire Yeomanry button is of interest to collectors of British Yeomanry insignia, cavalry buttons, Territorial Force militaria and Berkshire military history. Examples bearing the King’s Crown are particularly relevant to collections covering pre-1952 British Army uniform and Yeomanry equipment. Suitable for displaying alongside Berkshire Yeomanry cap badges, shoulder titles and other county-based cavalry insignia.
