Brass badge in the form of the unit abbreviation, '19 L', within straight bars, with a separate white metal badge in the form of the Prince of Wales feathers, coronet and scroll with the motto, 'Ich Dien'.

Following World War One (1914-1918), the number of Indian Cavalry Regiments was reduced from 39 to 21, but rather than further disbandments, they were amalgamated in pairs. As part of this process, in 1921, the 19th Lancers (Fane's Horse) amalgamated with 18th King George's Own Lancers, to form the 18th/19th Lancers. In 1922 King George V granted the regiment a new title in his honour, and it became the 19th King George's Own Lancers.

The new regiment inherited the combined battle honours, consisting of: 'Taku Forts', 'Pekin', 'Ahmad Khel', 'Afghanistan 1878-80', 'Tirah', 'Punjab Frontier'; for World War One, 'Somme 1916', 'Bazentin', 'Flers-Courcelette', 'Morval', 'Cambrai 1917', 'France and Flanders 1914-18', 'Megiddo', 'Sharon', 'Damascus' and 'Palestine 1918'.

In 1937 the regiment's name was was changed to the 19th King George V's Own Lancers. During the World War Two (1939-1945), the regiment was allocated to the 25th Indian Infantry Division and fought in the Burma Campaign, earning the further battle honours 'Buthidaung', 'Mayu Valley', 'Myebon', 'Kangaw', 'Ru-Ywa', 'Dalet', 'Tamandu', 'Rangoon Road' and 'Burma 1942-45'.

Upon partition the regiment was allocated to the Pakistan Army, and continues to serve with them to this day.
