The crown represents service to the Sovereign. The Maltese cross, which is based on the insignia of the Royal Guelphic Order and the bugle are common among badges of light infantry and rifle regiments. “THE BROCKVILLE RIFLES” is the regimental title and “AMIENS” and “PURSUIT TO MONS” are regimental battle honours from the First World War. The Motto translates as “Always prepared”.
The Blazon of the badge was confirmed by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on August 15, 2008.
