BERKSHIRE YEOMANRY
BELT COLOURS - black, red and yellow

OTHER INFORMATION

This belt was a childhood gift from an elderly neighbour when I lived in Thatcham,Berkshire during the 1970’s. I thought he told me it was Berkshire Yeomanry but the version shown on the website has a blue outer stripe rather than black. I believe the belt dates from the 1950’s-60’s period when he served. The Berkshire Yeomanry Museum date it from the early 1960’s and that the Blue/Black outer stripe changed to the Lighter Blue during the 1970’s

The stable belt worn in this period could be described as the outer blue band being a very dark blue almost black in some light. Due to what was frankly an error in ordering in the 1970s it is now more a royal blue.
