Scottish Horse slouch hat badge

This badge is made of brass and was worn on the slouched hat by the Other Ranks of the Scottish Horse regiments, originally raised during the Second Boer War. It features the words, "SCOTTISH HORSE 1900" around a cross of St Andrew, with a laurel branch on the right side and a juniper branch on the left. During World War I, the Scottish Horse Imperial Yeomanry (a successor to the Second Boer War regiments) became part of the British Territorial Force, some of which fought overseas.
