Light Infantry Cap Badge Display Frame – Red Centre | Officially Licensed

Official MOD-Licensed Military Display Piece

Celebrate the proud heritage of the Light Infantry with this officially licensed Red Centre Cap Badge Display Frame. The Light Infantry was formed in 1968 through the amalgamation of four distinguished county light infantry regiments — the Somerset and Cornwall Light Infantry, the King’s Own Yorkshire Light Infantry, the King’s Shropshire Light Infantry, and the Durham Light Infantry — uniting centuries of light infantry heritage under a single cap badge. Renowned for their speed, fieldcraft, and marksmanship, Light Infantry soldiers served with distinction from Northern Ireland and the Falkland Islands to Bosnia and Iraq before the regiment was absorbed into The Rifles in 2007.

This display features the red centre variant of the Light Infantry cap badge, presented within a premium deep box frame against a professionally pigment-printed regimental backing. The badge and backing are carefully hand mounted, with each finished display individually assembled in Leicestershire.

About the Badge

The Light Infantry cap badge features a silver-coloured stringed bugle horn — the traditional symbol of light infantry regiments throughout the British Army. Unlike the later cap badge of The Rifles, the Light Infantry badge was not surmounted by a Royal Crown. The bugle reflects the Light Infantry’s historic use of bugle calls rather than drums to command troops in the field. This variant features a red centre backing behind the badge, reproducing the appearance of the badge as worn on the beret.

Ideal For

• Light Infantry veterans
• Serving soldiers
• Military collectors
• Regimental display collections
• Retirement and service gifts
• British Army memorabilia enthusiasts
