- Brief description:
- Badge, rough rider, other ranks, Cavalry in Blue and Army Service Corps, sealed pattern, 1912. Wool cloth badge with yellow riding spur on black ground. A ‘sealed pattern’ is a prototype of any item that the British Army issued to soldiers. It provided clothing or equipment suppliers with an example to copy. ’Rough rider’ is a defunct rank used in the British Army and in some British colonial forces. It referred to those responsible for training horses and teaching horsemanship under the supervision of the riding master. Once abolished as a rank, it continued to be used as an appointment. The spur badge is still worn by riding instructors in the King’s Troop, Royal Horse Artillery and the Household Cavalry. From a collection of nine badges, various regiments, 1896-1912.
