button (back)
Description
English: Pressed and stamped three-part hollow domed gilt copper alloy button with separate soldered attachment loop, embossed with the Royal coat of arms, consisting of a crowned garter with a lion to the left and unicorn to the right, with the legend HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE (the French phrase meaning: "Shamed be he who thinks evil of it") within the Royal Garter. From these details and the size of the button, it appears to be a General Service cap button, which were introduced in 1871 and in use until 1924 when a variety of regimental buttons were re-introduced (Meredith & Cuddeford, 1997, 9). The back of the button is too corroded to make out the back mark but the U-shaped attachment loop remains intact.

Meredith & Cuddeford (1997) illustrate a larger General Service button with an oval garter on page 14, No.5, which is dated from c.1871-1901.

Wilkinson-Latham (2002) illustrate a similar General Service cap button on page 56, Plate 24, on the bottom row, which is dated from 1894-1924.
