Cap Badge Post-1902


The early 20th century badge of the Yorkshire Regiment had the pointed A but at some point the Princess’s coronet at the top was replaced by an Edwardian crown. Queen Victoria died in Jan 1901 so from that point Princess Alexandra was Queen Alexandra. The coronation was in August 1902 so the crown may date from then. The title of the regiment continued to be ALEXANDRA, PRINCESS OF WALES’S OWN.
