Blues and Royals
Formed in 1969 by the amalgamation of the
Royal Horse Guards formed 1650 and
The Royal Dragoons formed1661. Both were part of Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army.
The helmet is 1871 pattern and is 17 inches high.
ln its center is an 8 pointed Guards Star with the cross of St George and garter in red and blue enamel.
The inscription on the badge says
Honi Soit Qui Mal y Pense which means
Evil Be To Those That Evil Thinks.
This is an officers helmet and can be seen around Whitehall in London.
This is part of my private collection
