This is a perfect example of a full matching set of Great War period 3H (3rd The King's Own Hussars) slip-on shoulder titles. This set has a white embroided 3H (3rd The King's Own Hussars) on a khaki heavy wool backing. On the outbreak of the First World War, the regiment was stationed at Shorncliffe as part of 4th Cavalry Brigade. On mobilisation, the brigade was assigned to the Cavalry Division of the British Expeditionary Force, and was sent to France. The 4th Brigade was assigned to the 2nd Cavalry Division in October, and the regiment spent the remainder of the war with this unit on the Western Front. They were later deployed to Turkey as part of the British intervention there from November 1921 until 24 August 1923, and then moved to Egypt. This set of 3rd The King's Own Hussars slip-ons is a perfect un-issued condition except form some minor moth nips to the edges.
