The maple leaf represents service to Canada, and the crown, service to the Sovereign. The thistles (the national flower of Scotland) and the Cross of St. Andrew (the patron saint of Scotland) are common devices among badges of highland infantry regiments. The raven perched on a rock is from the badge and motto of the Clan MacDonnell of Glengarry, which is the clan tartan the regiment wears. The words “GLENGARRY FENCIBLES” are in memory of the service of the Glengarry Light Infantry Fencibles (1812-1816) who were raised during the War of 1812 in the regiment’s recruiting area. “SDG” is an abbreviated form of the regimental title and “DILEAS GU BAS” is the motto of the regiment. The Motto translates as “Faithful unto death”. | The maple leaf represents service to Canada, and the crown, service to the Sovereign.
