Badge: The maple leaf represents service to Canada. 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, and the overall shape of the badge is similar to that of The London Scottish, the regiment’s first allied regiment. The unicorn is taken from the badges of the 75th “Overseas” Battalion and The Mississauga Horse in recognition of the regiment’s historical connection with these units. The words “BELGIUM” and “FRANCE” and the dates “1916-1919” commemorate the service of the regiment’s perpetuated units during the First World War. “TORONTO SCOTTISH” is a form of the regimental title and “CARRY ON” is the motto of the regiment. | Badge: The maple leaf represents service to Canada.
