2nd Cavalry Colour Patch
| With the
general wearing of the slouch hat across the Army, colour patches were
reintroduced in the early 1990s. The reintroduced colour patches were
based on the designs of the 1st and 2nd AIF colour patches. The design
and colour of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment colour patch is based on that of
the 4th Light Horse and is light blue over dark blue, divided diagonally
from lower to higher, on a rectangular patch. This design was chosen
because of links with A Squadron 4th/19th Prince of Wales Light Horse
(descended from 4th Light Horse) and is worn on the right side of the
puggaree on the slouch hat by all members of the Regiment (including
those from other Corps). (www.army.gov.au) |
