Regarding British Cap Badges why are some units identified by a number and some by a name and how does this compare to present day regiments?
The basic formation of the British army was the infantry and cavalry regiments. These regiments were originally numberedin sequence. The five regiments of Foot Guards were the elite units of the army and they guarded the king.The British army introduced a distinguishing identification badge on the headdress as early as 1768. As uniforms became more common, the soldiers were issued a leather shako, helmet or glengarry for headgear. A larger brass plate was mounted on these to provide identity and espirit de corps. Typically, this plate had the regimental number on a star, horn or cross.The British Army reorganized in 1881 by combining two existing regiments into one larger regiment. Some regiments lost their identity and some new ones were created; while others combined symbols from both previous designs. When the two regiments were combined, their identity was changed from a numbered regiment to one that had a territorial name , such as East Lancaster Regiment. The cavalry units continued to be identified as a numbered unit or a combination of two; such as the 17th/21st Lancers.During this time, cloth service hats were issued that required a cap badge that was a smaller version of the brass plate. In the 20th Century, the steel helmet was issued for combat, but the badge is still worn on the dress hat, visor cap, field cap, beret, and Scottish glengarry. The Foot Guards became the 5 regiments of the Palace Guards or: Coldstream Guards, Grenadier Guards, Scots Guards, Irish Guards and Welsch Guards.The British Army grew during both World War 1 and World War 2. Usually each regiment grew in the number of Battalions. Thus one battalion would serve in one campaign, another would go to a different campaign and there was one or two that were used for training replacements.After WW2, the army was reduced in size in 1950's. This resulted in some regiments being disbanded and others were merged. This merger resulted in further changes to their names.Example of History and evolution of one regimentOne example of how a Regiment changed its name and history and the meaning behind its badge.WILTSHIRE REGIMENT (Duke of Edinburgh's)This brass cap badge was worn from 1881 until 1954and consists of the Duke of Edinburgh's coronet on top of a Maltese Cross. In the center of the cross is a coronet above the cypher, "AEA", (Alfred Ernest Albert, second son of Queen Victoria). The cross rests on a title banner scroll, "THE WILTSHIRE REGIMENT". The Wiltshire Regiment was formed in 1881, from the amalgamation of the 62nd Regiment of Foot, raised in 1743, and the 99th of Foot, raised in 1760.The 62nd Regiment were heavily involved in the American War of Independence in which they acted as light infantry. They were nicknamed the "Springers", "Sping up!" being the light infantry command for advance. When the British army surrendered at Saratoga, officers of the 62nd tore the Colors from their pikes to prevent their capture. One was later recovered and restored to the regiment in 1927. During the First Sikh War, the 62nd lost nearly half its number in the two day battle of Ferozeshah, when they advanced in open order into point blank artillery fire. Every year, this regiment commemorates a point in the battle when the Sergeants saved the Colors by giving the Colors to the Sergeant's Mess for "safe keeping".The 99th Regiment were raised in Glasgow and in 1874, became the Duke of Edinburgh's. This regiment also fought in the Peninsular War, Maori Wars, Chinese Wars and the Boer War.After the reformation of 1881, when the two regiments were combined, the Wiltshire Regiment were awarded 60 battle honors in WW1 and 33 in WW2. Twelve battalions saw service in France, North Africa, West Europe, Italy, Sicily and Burma. The 1st Battalion lost 300 men at Kohima and the 10th Battalion was reduced to 40 men defending the Anzio beachhead.In 1958, the Wiltshire Regiment was amalgamated with the Royal Berkshire Regiment to become the Duke of Edinburgh's Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire). Sadly they fell foul of more government cuts when in 1993; they were again amalgamated with the Gloucestershire Regiment, to become the Royal Gloucestershire, Berkshire and Wiltshire Regiment.--------------------------------------------Distinguishing FeaturesBritish Badges are designed to capture the tradition and heritage of the regiment it represents. Many of the British badges have a crown on it. The crown has two shapes; one for a King and one for a Queen. King Edward began his reign about the same time the smaller badges began to be used. His crown is the type shown in all of these badges. The crown changed when Queen Elizabeth took the throne in 1953. This was also about the time that the Army began re-organizing and combining many regiments. The shape of the crown makes it easier for the collector to date the badges. Major changes in the Army caused major changes in the badges. When the Army was reorganized and units combined, then the badge would change to reflect the identity of the new regiment. Some badges were simplified from a bimetal design used before WW1 to simply brass. An example of this is the Manchester Regiment. Originally its badge was a crest of the city and then later it was changed to a fleur-de-lous.Badges can also be dated by small changes, such as a motto or the direction an object faced. The Tank Regiment became the Royal Tank Regiment in 1922 and later the motto "Fear Naught" was added to the badge. Then in 1924, the tank on the badge was reversed in its facing.Animals of all types were used; the British Lion was the most prevalent.Some animals such as stags represented their origin. Tigers, Elephants, or Sphinx were used to denote their service in India, Africa or Egypt.With the incorporation of modern weapons into the army, new regiments were created during WW1 and WW2 using such symbols as machine guns, tanks and even bicycles. Thus the creation of the Royal Air Force and Royal Tank Regiment badges, and the Parachute Regiment.The British Army also used territorial regiments or what might be called national guard or militia units. These regiments were called Yoemanry. The Yoemanry regiments could be associated with a regular army regiment and have a similar badge. Some would have a unique badge with some quite different shapes and symbols.Scottish & Irish RegimentsScotland had a reputation for fierce fighting men. The regiments raised in Scotland and on the border have a long history and eventually merged into the British Army. Every Scottish badge is silver, with only one exception; Royal Scots Fusiliers. The Scottish badges are some of the largest badges as most were worn on a glengarry or a Tam O'Shanter.Symbols on Scottish BadgesSt. Andrews Cross "X" - Saint Andrew was patron saint of Scotland. Some Scottish badges have a figure of St. Andrew standing behind the cross.Elk or Stag headThistle- in wreath or single - pointed leaves & cupped flowers.Other Symbols used on British Cap BadgesStar Burst - 8-pointed star with radiating lines(rays), in various texture. Forms basic shape of many badges.Wreath - Another basic shape, especially in more modern badges and general services badges. Also a very basic element of many badges.Flaming grenade (bomb) - represents grenadier or fusilier type of infantry regiment.Harp - Symbol for Irish RegimentsCoronet Horn - represents light infantryMaltese Cross - Rifle regimentCrossed Lances - a cavalry unit originally armed with lances.Tudor Rose - Relates to the English Royal Family3 feathered plume - Prince of Wales. Many regiments were honored with title of "Prince of Wales".As a footnote -The British Dress uniform was different for each regiment. So one regiment may have a black Dress hat while another have a red one. This is quite different from the U.S. Army, which has one standard Dress uniform and one hat badge.Canada was a providence of England and many Canadian regiments had names and badge designs similar to their British cousins. The regiments were also associated in other ways.During WW2, some badges were made in plastic; these are the some of the rarest ones of that period, since most were damaged or destroyed from use.Custermen

What are the traditions of the British Army?
The hundred years of military tradition and service produces a number of customs and traditions typical of a strong family orientated regiment. A small selection of the regiment's unique appearance and practices can be seen below.The White Horse of HanoverIn 1759 the 14th Foot was quartered at Windsor where, as a mark of royal favour from George III, it gained permission to wear the White Horse of Hanover on the cap of the grenadiers and drummers (the symbol of King George's family - The House of Hanover). The badge is now the collar badge of the Yorkshire Regiment and is also borne on the Regimental Colour.The Regimental Quick March - 'Ca Ira'In 1793 at the Battle of Famars against the French Republic, the 14th Foot's advance had been checked when the Regimental Colonel ordered his drummers to strike up the marching air 'Ca Ira', which the French were then playing as symbolic to the revolution, and called out "Come on lads; we'll break them to their own tune' which they duly did. This was then adopted as the Regimental quick march, the only march in the British Army to be gained in action.The Colour Black in Regimental DressIn the Seven Years War the 15th Foot was part of General Wolfe's force which scaled the Heights of Abraham and captured Quebec on 13th September 1759. Wolfe was killed at the moment of victory and his loss was marked in the black background to the Regiment's collar badges. This is reflected in the Yorkshire Regiment's ceremonial shoulder boards and the black stripes in the Regimental stable belt and Tactical Recognition Flash.The Colour Brunswick Green in Regimental DressIn 1744, during the Wars of the Austrian Succession, the 19th Foot first became known as 'The Green Howards'. At that time, the Regimental Colonel was the Honourable Charles Howard and, following the convention at the time, the Regiment was known as 'Howard's Regiment'. It was also brigaded with another regiment whose Colonel was also called Howard and some distinction between the two regiments had to be made. As the Regiment wore green facings to its uniform, it became known as 'The Green Howards'. The other regiment wore buff facings, and became 'The Buff Howards'. The nickname 'The Green Howards' stuck, and survived until 1920 when it became the official title of the Regiment. This very dark version of green was used by the Royal House of Hanover and originates from the area around Braunschweig (Brunswick in English) Germany.The Regimental ButtonsThe 19th Foot cap badge was personally designed by Queen Alexandra, when she was Princess of Wales, and incorporated the Dannebrog (the Cross of Denmark) and her personal cipher (the A with a Princess's coronet above it). The date 1875 commemorates the year the Regiment became the Princess of Wales's Own and the roman numerals 'XIX' denote the 19th Regiment of Foot. The badge continues to be worn on The Yorkshire Regiment's buttons and borne on the Regimental Colour.The Honorary ColoursThe Yorkshire Regiment is the only Regiment to have an additional set of Colours on parade, two Regulation Colours and two larger Honorary 'Battle' Colours awarded to the 76th of Foot in recognition of their distinguished service in India. The 3rd Battalion The Yorkshire Regiment continues, uniquely, to carry four colours.RugbyThe 33rd/76th Foot were the winners of the first Army Rugby Competition in 1907 and since then the Regiment has won the Army Rugby Cup fourteen times and been runners up eight times, a record unmatched anywhere else in the Army.The Lion Rampant in the Regimental Cap Badge & Regimental MottoIn 1783 Arthur Wellesley, later to become the Duke of Wellington, joined the Regiment and subsequently commanded it in the Netherlands and India where he learnt his 'trade' as a military commander. He was Colonel of the Regiment from 1806 until 1813 and the 33rd Foot fought under him at the Battle of Waterloo. Following his death in 1852, and in recognition of his especially close ties to the 33rd, Queen Victoria commanded that the Regiment be known as The Duke of Wellington's Regiment. The Regiment adopted his crest, a lion rampant carrying the cross of St George, as its cap-badge and his motto of 'Fortune Favours the Brave'. Both have been continued in The Yorkshire Regiment cap badge, motto and borne on the Regimental Colour.The Elephant on the Regimental ColourThe 76th Foot was formed in 1787 for service in India where it particularly distinguished itself in the campaign of 1803-4 to capture the major northern Indian cities of Dehli, Agra, Leswaree and Ally Ghur. The success of these campaigns laid the foundations upon which the Indian Empire could be built. In recognition of the part the Regiment played the was granted the badge of an elephant circumscribed with the word 'Hindoostan' and a pair of of Honorary Colours. The Honorary Colours continue to be carried by the 3rd Battalion and the elephant borne of the Regimental Colour.
