The Rifles Cap Badge
Description:
The Rifles cap-badge consists of the bugle horn surmounted by the Sovereign’s Crown.
The silver bugle with its cords and tassels has long been the symbol of light infantry troops
who first used the clarion call of the bugle instead of the drum to deliver messages and
orders across the battlefields of the late 18th century.
The horn itself is derived originally from the jagdhorn or hunting horn of the German Jaeger
regiments. This tradition, based on a combination of formed line infantry and a screen of more
freely manoeuvring light infantry, employing skirmishing tactics and marksmanship skills,
constituted a radical evolution to battlefield tactics.
The silver bugle has formed part of the cap-badges of light infantry and rifle regiments
throughout history. While the new cap-badge will be worn on all Rifles head-dress, the
back-badge of the RGBWLI will also be worn on the back of ceremonial head-dress and
by some cadets and Territorial elements of the Regiment.
