Regimental Dress

Combat Soldier 95 (CS95)

CS95 is the main form of dress.  It is worn for guard duty and every day training.

In summer, sleeves are rolled up to just above the elbow, when stated on Regimental Orders. 

At 1800hrs, the sleeves are rolled down and the shirt worn as normal until first parade. 

In winter, the Jersey Heavy Wool can be worn over the top of the CS95 shirt.

The field jacket is worn over the top of the CS95 shirt and also the Jersey Heavy Wool, if being worn.


 


Coveralls

Coveralls are our every day dress. These are worn when working on the Vehicle Park to protect your CS 95


Prussian Eagle

Commonly known as 'The Hawk,' the Prussian Eagle is the cap badge of The King's Royal Hussars. 

It was awarded to The 14th Light Dragoons by Crown Princess Frederica of Prussia in 1798, as a mark of gratitude after they had escorted her from Dover to London, prior to her marriage to the Duke of York. 

It was confirmed by The 14th/20th King's Hussars and then The King's Royal Hussars as the cap badge.


Barrack Dress

During winter, it is worn with the Jersey Heavy Wool, with KRH titles.

The honour of wearing crimson trousers was granted to The 11th Light Dragoons by HRH Prince Albert, after they escorted him to his marriage with Queen Victoria in 1840 (crimson being the colour of his personal livery).
