KEH Undress Uniform Photographs

Album

Photograph of an unnamed Squadron Sergeant Major (SSM), King Edward’s Horse in Undress uniform with a forage cap with a tan leather peak circa 1912. He is wearing ‘A’ Squadron (British Asian) collar badges, a King Edward’s Horse headdress badge and a bullion crown denoting his rank above a further King Edward’s Horse badge worn above his rank chevrons. He is wearing a five bar Queen's South Africa medal, a two bar King's South Africa medal and an Army Long Service and Good Conduct medal which was awarded to Regular Force non-commissioned officers and men who had completed eighteen years of irreproachable service. He is wearing a single Volunteer's Efficiency star above his right cuff denoting that he has attended a sufficient number of drills, parades and an annual camp over four years.

Postcard photograph of (left to right): Squadron Sergeant Major (as per Figures 139-140); an as yet unidentified Captain (three pips on his sleeve rank panel); Lieutenant George Gray Russell; Squadron Quarter Master Serjeant Frederick Willet Skepelhorn (an embroidered crown above four inverted chevrons on both sleeves) and Serjeant G. H. Tiplady, 'A' Squadron wearing a Queen's South Africa medal (?) with multiple bars and 'A' Squadron King's Colonial's collar badges. The postcard dates to between 1912 and August 1914.

Photograph of a Serjeant, Corporal and a Private of the King Edward's Horse in Undress uniform each wearing a King Edward's Horse headdress and 'B' Squadron (British American) collar badges circa 1912. The fact that they are wearing King's Colonials collar badges suggesting that all three members were from the pre-1910 King's Colonials. The Serjeant is wearing a Queen's South African medal with multiple bars. The Serjeant and Corporal are both wearing King Edward's Horse headdress badges and NCOs arm badges above their rank chevrons.

Photograph of an un-named Private in the Undress uniform of the King Edward’s Horse with girdle, walking out, circa 1913 (Courtesy of David Knight). Interestingly, he is wearing the first pattern KEH headdress badge with collar badges of the British Asian Squadron denoting he was in 'A' Squadron KEH. The Squadron collar badges were worn for a number of years after the headdress badges and Squadron badges were replaced with KEH pattern badges in 1910.
