Abstract
- Badge is made of an unknown metal, possibly brass, and has the shape of an eight-pointed star. In the center is an image of what appears to be a three-leaf shamrock, with a crown in each leaf, surrounded by the words, "QUIS SEPARABIT" and "MDCCLXXXIII". The former is the Latin motto of the 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards, and translates to "Who shall separate us?" in English. The latter is a year in Roman numerals, which is "1783" in Arabic numerals. Below on a scroll are the words, "4TH ROYAL IRISH D. GUARDS". The 4th Royal Irish Dragoon Guards were a British cavalry regiment that landed in France at the beginning of World War I, and some of its members were reportedly the first British soldiers of the War to engage the Germany army.
