Royal Scots cap badge

[RobertM]

Found in Hong Kong from WWII. But the style is from WWI. So it probably was from a Soldier who was in both wars.

Great save and welcome to treasurenet !!

The soldiers’ cap badge dates from 1890 when it was adopted to replace two slightly different badges worn respectively by the 1st and 2nd Battalions. The badge features the image of St. Andrew and an "X" cross. Some believe the apostle Andrew was crucified on a saltire (X-shaped) cross, therefore the name St. Andrew's Cross. He is said to have told his executioners that he was not worthy to be crucified on the same cross style as Jesus, and persuaded them to alter the shape. St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland.
