Brief Regimental History -
The King's Royal Hussars (KRH) is a cavalry regiment of the British Army. It is part of the Royal Armoured Corps and was formed on 4 December 1992 by the amalgamation of two other regiments:
- The Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own) an amalgamation of the 10th Royal Hussars (Prince of Wales's Own), and 11th Hussars (Prince Albert's Own).
- 14th/20th King's Hussars
The regiment currently serves in the armoured role, equipped with Challenger 2 tanks, and is based in Tidworth, Wiltshire. Alexander Windsor, Earl of Ulster serves as an officer in the regiment.
The regiment is organised into a total of four squadrons, each of which perpetuates the title of one of its antecedent regiments:
- A Squadron (The Twentieth Hussar Squadron)
- B Squadron (The Fourteenth Hussar Squadron)
- C Squadron (The Eleventh Hussar Squadron)
- D Squadron (The Tenth Hussar Squadron)
The Gurkha link
The KRH wear the crossed kukri of the Gurkhas as an arm badge. This relates back to 1945 when C Squadron, 14th/20th King's Hussars assaulted the town of Medicina in Italy alongside the 2nd Battalion, 6th Gurkha Rifles, inflicting heavy losses on the German defenders despite being outnumbered. In commemoration of this action the 14/20 adopted the crossed kukri badge, a tradition maintained by the KRH.
