Every member of the Regiment (The Queen's Royal Hussars) wears the Maid of Warsaw, the crest of the City of Warsaw, on the left sleeve of his No. 2 (Service) Dress. This honour was awarded to the 7th Hussars by the Commander of the Second Polish Corps in recognition of their valour in support of the Polish Forces during the Italian Campaign in World War II. Traditionally the original crest presented to the Regiment is placed in front of the Commanding Officer on Dinner Nights.

There are in fact three British regiments that wear the Second Polish Corps “Syrenka” badge these are the other two:

36 Regiment Royal Artillery

654 "Maid of Warsaw" Squadron Army Air Corps.
