This bonnet badge combines the white horse of Hanover, the then cap badge of The King's (Liverpool Regiment), with a St Andrew's Cross of two beams in saltire, an heraldic symbol of Scotland. Officers and senior NCOs wear this badge in sterling silver, other soldiers wear it in white metal. This badge was re-adopted as the bonnet badge when V (The Liverpool Scottish) Company moved from 1st. Battalion 51st Highland Volunteers to 5th/8th Battalion The King's Regiment.

This badge was worn on the cantle (top) of a silver-topped sporran, as worn by officers and warrant officers and senior NCOs. Note that the legend across the top reads 'Scottish Liverpool' rather than 'Liverpool Scottish'. It is secured at the back with two screw-thread lugs which pass through the cantle and are secured at the back of the sporran with nuts. Some officers and senior ranks continued to wear this badge on their sporrans after 1937 and some sporrans bearing them have been in use to the present day.
