Origin of a Beret badge.

[Dragoon]

While searching for unit history of the Royal Canadian Dragoons.
I found out the origin of their beret badge.

It is a antelope type animal called a Springbok.
Apparently while deployed in the Boar War, a herd of them ran past their position as if spooked by something.The Springbok's alerted them to an enemy advance towards their position.Learn something new everyday!
