patches Posted March 19, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 19, 2023 While doing the Wiki on the 8th Royal Irish Hussars I was reminded of their officer's special Side Cap, the Tent Cap, and found it's still worn today, apparently by all Officers of the Queen's Royal Hussars, the current unit the old 8th Royal Irish were now amalgamated in.
