The regimental badge of the South African Light Horse regiment was a brass
maltese cross with the letters SALH on the arms and the date 1899 in the
center. This was worn both as a collar badge and as a cap badge. See the
photograph in WINSTON CHURCHILL SOLDIER: THE MILITARY LIFE OF A GENTLEMAN AT
WAR by Douglas S. Russell (London: Brassey's, 2005)
