Officer’s uniform button of the Essex Regiment, produced to the pattern introduced following the 1902 Army reforms and remaining in use until the late 1950s. This long-serving pattern was worn throughout the Edwardian period, the First World War, the inter-war years, and the Second World War, reflecting the regiment’s extensive service history across multiple conflicts.
The button is of officer quality, manufactured in gilt metal and die-struck with fine detail. It bears the Essex Regiment insignia, incorporating the regimental Salamanca eagle and castle within a wreath. The reverse is fitted with a fixed shank for attachment to uniform garments.
