About the Item

Print Sz: 9 3/4"H x 15 1/4"W Frame Sz: 15"H x 20 1/2"W w/ 32 badges A colored fold-out plate illustrating the badges of British Army cavalry regiments was published in the November 1920 issue of The Boy's Own Paper. The illustration was based on original artwork by F. Stansell and features the cap badges and drum banners of numerous cavalry units. Featured regiments The plate includes badges for a variety of regiments, reflecting the state of the British cavalry just after World War I. Examples of the units featured, and descriptions of their badges, can be found in a similar 1914 version of the same plate: Household Cavalry: The Household Cavalry, the elite cavalry of the British Army, is likely to have been prominently featured. Dragoon Guards: The plate included several Dragoon Guards regiments, such as the 1st King's Dragoon Guards and the 2nd Dragoon Guards (Queen's Bays). Hussars: Hussar regiments, known for their elaborate uniforms, were included. Examples are the 3rd King's Own Hussars and the 7th Queen's Own Hussars. Lancers: Regiments of lancers, distinguished by their use of lances, were also featured, such as the 5th Royal Irish Lancers and the 12th Lancers. Dragoons: The plate contained badges for other dragoon regiments, including the 6th Inniskilling Dragoons. Historical context of the illustration The artwork captures a moment in military history when cavalry was transitioning away from horses and into an armored corps. The Boy's Own Paper was a highly popular British weekly publication, founded in 1879, that was aimed at teenage boys. It featured stories and informational content designed to be morally uplifting and educational. Military-themed content was a staple of the magazine, reflecting a strong imperial tradition and interest in military exploits during the era. The inclusion of detailed illustrations of military insignia was a regular feature. Regimental tradition was a source of great pride for British soldiers, and detailed illustrations like this one provided readers with a visual connection to the army's heritage.
