About the Beret Badge
The King's Own Royal Border Regiment beret badge combines the proud identities of its two antecedent regiments within a single distinctive design.
At its centre stands the Royal Lion statant guardant, inherited from The King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster), symbolising loyal service to the Crown and representing a tradition that can be traced back through centuries of regimental history.
Surrounding the lion is a laurel wreath, inherited from the former Border Regiment. The wreath commemorates the gallant conduct of the 34th (Cumberland) Regiment of Foot at the Battle of Fontenoy in 1745, where the regiment's distinguished service earned the honour of incorporating the laurel into its badge.
One of the regiment's most recognisable distinctions was the scarlet diamond backing worn behind the beret badge. This tradition originated with The King's Own Royal Regiment (Lancaster), which wore a scarlet backing behind its badges on tropical helmets and slouch hats during the South African War (1899–1902). When the King's Own Royal Border Regiment was formed in 1959, the scarlet diamond was officially retained behind the new beret badge, creating a unique distinction within The King's Division that remained in use throughout the regiment's service until 2006.
Together, these elements represent the regiment's Lancashire and Border heritage, preserving the traditions, honours and identity inherited from generations of soldiers who served before them.
