Oval silver arm badge (brassard) won at the annual Doggett Race 1920.

The badge is embossed with a running horse (depicting the white horse of Hanover) and above it the word 'Liberty' represented as twisted rope lettering. The winner's name 'Harry Hayes' is inscribed in gothic script in a scroll. Below the horse are crossed oars with a scroll inscribed 'OF DEPTFORD AUGUST 4TH 1920'.

The badge has a laurel wreath border with a flat edge on which is engraved: 'The Gift of Mr Thomas Doggett, the late famous Comedian. In Commemoration of King George's happy accession to the Throne of Great Britain 1714'. Four metal rings are soldered to the back for attachment to the waterman's prize coat. The badge has a fitted case and was presented together with the prize coat, cap and breeches and a painting of Henry Hayes wearing them.

Thomas Doggett, an Irish comic actor, regularly used water transport to get to the London theatres where he was working. In 1715 he proposed a rowing race between newly-qualified watermen to celebrate the anniversary of the accession of George I. It was rowed over a course of 'four miles and five furlongs' from London Bridge to Chelsea. Doggett left money in his will for the Company of Fishmongers to organise the race annually. Doggett's Coat and Badge Race still remains an annual Thames event every July. The race is claimed to be the oldest annual sporting event in continuous existence in the world. Part of the prize is traditionally a red coat based on 18th-century waterman's costume, with a silver badge on the sleeve depicting the white horse of Hanover in memory of King George I.
