The Crown represents service to the Sovereign. The laurel wreath, which symbolizes excellence and achievement, dates back to competitions and combat in ancient Greek times. The caribou head is based on the badge of The Royal Newfoundland Regiment of the First World War and which itself was copied from that of the Newfoundland Highlanders, a para-military cadet corps formed in 1907. The claret background was one of the First World War regiment’s livery colours, the other being white. “ROYAL NEWFOUNDLAND REGIMENT” is a form of the regimental title.
The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on April 15, 2008.
