Uniform
The Royal Wessex Yeomanry TRF is taken from the 74th (Yeomanry) Division, whose insignia was a broken spur in a black diamond during World War I, used to signify that the division was once a mounted division and now served as infantry. The TRF takes its colour scheme from facings of the collars and cuffs of the Royal Gloucestershire Hussars (buff), Royal Wiltshire Yeomanry, Dorset Yeomanry and the Royal Devon Yeomanry (all scarlet).
The regiment wears a brown beret, similar to that worn by the Kings Royal Hussars, with a square black patch behind the cap badge. Each squadron wears the cap badge of its antecedent Yeomanry regiment, meaning that unlike any other British Army regiment, the RWxY have 4 cap badges. The squadrons also retain their own stable belts and mess dress. In barrack (Number 13) dress the regiment wear a green fleck v-neck jumper.

—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
