THE GREY AND SIMCOE FORESTERS, CANADIAN ARMY
(Badge) |
(Regimental Colours) |
Official blazon
Badge: A pomme charged with a stag lodged on a mount within a circle of autumnal maple leaves proper overall on either side a scroll Vert inscribed GREY & SIMCOE in letters Argent, the whole surmounting a Maltese cross pommé Argent ensigned by the Royal Crown proper and resting on a scroll Vert inscribed FORESTERS in letters Argent.
Origin/meaning
The maple leaves represent service to Canada, and the crown, service to the Sovereign. The badge of the regiment is styled on that of their former British allied regiment The Sherwood Foresters (Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Regiment now, through amalgamation, The Mercian Regiment), whose badge, in turn, was based on that of the 95th (Derbyshire) Regiment, which featured a Maltese cross (based on the insignia of the Royal Guelphic Order), and that of the 45th (Nottinghamshire - Sherwood Foresters) Regiment, which featured a stag. The words “GREY & SIMCOE” and “FORESTERS” are a form of the regimental title.
The Blazon of the Badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on October 15, 2008.
