Officer and Other Ranks 1928

This group photo of the regimental shooting team was reproduced in the Tenth Hussars Gazette. The officer in the middle is Lieutenant Tony Wingfield who later commanded the regiment in WW2, from November 1942. The uniform for the men has changed little since WW1. It would seem that all ranks by this time had the ball-shaped buttons peculiar to hussar regiments. Collar badges have been added but the collar is still the uncomfortable type that fastens at the neck. The white lanyard was still worn, on the right shoulder, and the bandolier on the left shoulder continued to be the mark of a cavalryman. The caption refers to the private soldiers as Troopers which was the rank given to privates in the cavalry after WW1. Corporal Harrup has a NCO regimental badge on his sleeve but Lance-Corporal Thompson does not. The man standing on the right is a veteran with four good-conduct stripes on his left forearm. He is Farrier Savage DCM. He and the Corporal appear to be the only soldiers here with medal ribbons, indicating that they fought in WW1.
