A nice un issued embroided The Hampshire Regiment shoulder title

This is a good example of a nice embroided serif type lettering The Hampshire Regiment shoulder title. The Hampshire Regiment was a line infantry regiment of the British Army, created as part of the Childers Reforms in 1881 by the amalgamation of the 37th (North Hampshire) Regiment of Foot and the 67th (South Hampshire) Regiment of Foot.[1][3] The regiment existed continuously for 111 years and served in the Second Boer War, World War I and World War II. In the Second World War, the Hampshire Regiment had six battalions that fought abroad (the 1st, 2nd, 1/4th, 2/4th, 5th and 7th), whilst more battalions stayed at home. In 1946, due to distinguished service in World War II, the regiment was retitled as the Royal Hampshire Regiment. This example is in a perfect un-issued condition.
