The Rifles New Cap Badge Revealed

The Rifles cap badge - bugle horn surmounted by Soveriegn's crown
On Wednesday 21 June 2006, the Light Division announced the future cap badge for ‘The Rifles’, a new regiment that will be formed in February 2007.

The cap badge is simple and yet summarises the famous history of the four Regiments that now comprise the Light Division.

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.
