Its soldiers, known as Kingsmen, served in locations including Kenya, Kuwait, Berlin, Hong Kong, West Germany, Northern Ireland, the Falkland Islands, Cyprus, Iraq and Kosovo. On 1 July 2006, the regiment amalgamated with The King's Own Royal Border Regiment and The Queen's Lancashire Regiment to form The Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, where its traditions continue today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis precision display piece faithfully reproduces the distinctive King's Regiment cap badge, combining the White Horse of Hanover of the Liverpool lineage with the fleur-de-lis associated with the Manchester lineage, above the KINGS scroll.

Following the regiment's service against the First Jacobite Rebellion in 1715, King George I granted the White Horse of Hanover to the regiment in 1716. It remained a defining part of the Liverpool regiment's identity and was carried into the combined King's Regiment badge in 1958.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the White Horse is the large fleur-de-lis, inherited from The Manchester Regiment and associated with its antecedent, the 63rd Regiment of Foot. The precise reason for its original adoption is not completely documented. Regimental tradition connects it with service against the French in the West Indies, particularly Guadeloupe. The fleur-de-lis was formally approved as The Manchester Regiment's cap badge in 1923.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the two symbols is the simple KINGS scroll. Unlike many British Army cap badges, the design contains no Royal Crown, so there is no separate King's Crown or Queen's Crown version of this badge pattern. The regimental motto, Nec Aspera Terrent, traditionally rendered within the King's regimental tradition as \"Difficulties be Damned\", does not appear on the cap badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing's Regiment veterans and families\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormer Kingsmen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eKing's Regiment (Liverpool) and Manchester Regiment collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish Army and cap badge collectors\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegimental display collections\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetirement, service and remembrance gifts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cp\u003eBritish military history enthusiasts\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOfficial Licensed Product\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntellectual Property of the Secretary of State for Defence is used under licence.
