Background

The Queen’s Own Warwickshire & Worcestershire Yeomanry (QOWWY) was formed in 1956 through the amalgamation of two historic volunteer cavalry regiments — the Warwickshire Yeomanry (raised 1794) and the Queen’s Own Worcestershire Hussars (raised 1794).

Following the 1956 merger, the regiment served within the Royal Armoured Corps (Territorial Army), later transitioning through several reorganisations until becoming part of B (Warwickshire & Worcestershire Yeomanry) Squadron, Royal Yeomanry in 1971.

Shoulder titles of this pattern were worn during the late 1950s and 1960s, representing the early post-amalgamation era of the regiment before the move to anodised staybrite insignia.
