The cap badge for the Yorkshire Regiment includes the White Rose of Yorkshire, the name of the regiment, and the Duke of Wellington's cypher.

The Green Howards' cap badge (above) was personally designed by Queen Alexandra, when she was Princess of Wales, to incorporate the Dannebrog (the Cross of Denmark) and her personal cypher (the A) the whole being surmounted by her Princess's coronet. The date 1875 commemorates when she was first associated with the Regiment, and the roman numerals "XIX" denote the 19th Regiment of Foot.

The Museum has a display of examples of every cap badge that has been used by the Regiment from 1872 to the present. Below are some photographs of some of the cap badges that are on display in the Museum
