French | Blazon wanted |
English | Badge: On an eight-pointed star Or a Maltese Cross Argent each point pommelled Gules ensigned by the Royal Crown proper and surmounted by a torteau charged with a pronghorn antelope trippant on a wreath Or within an annulus Gules edged and inscribed SOUTH SASKATCHEWAN REGIMENT in letters Or. |
Origin/meaning
There is no record of the reason for the Regiment's choice of elements for the badge. The Royal Crown is a clear reference to service to the Crown. The antelope represents the natural splendour of the prairies. As well, the antelope's swiftness may symbolize the Regiment's speed and determination in battle.
The badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 15, 2004. Literature:Images from https://www.canada.ca/en/services/defence/caf/military-identity-system/
