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. The 6th Armored Division Formation Sign? Thought this unit was no longer active, can't seem to find any reference to it today.
