Officer's Shabraque before 1882



There are only two battle honours, Waterloo and Peninsula which did not appear on the shabraque until the mid 1820s. These two honours are repeated on all four corners and remained unchanged until the awarding of Dettingen in 1882 and the Egyptian battle honours in 1883.
