Royal Hampshire Regiment Drum Major Baldric Sash - The Hampshire Tigers - Embroidered Ceremonial Cross Belt

Royal Hampshire Regiment Drum Major Baldric Sash - The Tigers - The Drum Major's Baldric Sash of The Royal Hampshire Regiment is the ceremonial cross-belt of one of the British Army's most historic County Regiments - the 37th & 67th Regiment of Foot, later The Hampshire Regiment, nicknamed "The Hampshire Tigers" for 20 years of unbroken service in India.

Worn from the left shoulder to the right hip, this magnificent embroidered baldric was worn by the Drum Major to carry the mace and to display the full lineage and honours of the regiment on parade. The regiment now forms part of the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment (PWRR) - The Tigers.

The Royal Hampshire Heritage:

Formed in 1881 from the 37th (North Hampshire) and 67th (South Hampshire) Regiments, the Hampshires earned the name " Tigers" after the tiger badge was awarded to the 37th for their service in India. The Hampshire Rose, taken from the County badge, became their beloved emblem. Their Drum Major's sash carries both - the Rose and the Tiger - making it one of the most distinctive in the British Army.
