Regimental badges owned by Vernon St.John, 6th Viscount Bolingbroke (d.1974), The badges are part of a larger collection of WWI badges, brooches and medals which the viscount kept throughout his life. It is likely that he collected the cap badges from fellow soldiers during the war.

The collection was generously gifted to The Friends of Lydiard Park by a former friend of Lord Bolingbroke's, Anne Barr, in 2023.
