bullion braid to the peak. Senior and Junior officers wear the

Other Ranks
Post 2012
The addition of black welts.
The Royal Yeomanry Other Ranks pattern cap
is the same as issued to the Rifles Regiment. The Other Ranks
cap differs to that of the RY Officers as it has sewn in black welts,
this is a "Rifles" feature but cant be changed (The removable
black mohair band of "The Rifles Regiment" has not been removed
from the cap in the above picture...... it should have been). This is now
the headdress of the Royal Yeomanry in No.2 dress and blues.
Each RY Squadron still retains its own traditional cap buttons,
small plain Hussar cap buttons for B (LDYPAO) Sqn. The "Green
Cap" is to represent the service of the "Sherwood Rangers
Yeomanry", they traditionally wore the "all" green cap in the
Other Ranks and the Officers had a yellow welt in the top of
their green cap.
After the passing of HRH the Queen Mother the Royal
Yeomanry was adopted by HRH Princess Alexandra. It was decided
that in honour of this the Regiment would make uniform a cap
badge of HRH Princess Alexandra's cipher. This badge has been
seen before in the British Army on the 3rd (Queen
Alexandra's Own) Ghurkha Rifles.
