| The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada Badge |
For those keeping track, the Queen has a
badge from the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in the United Kingdom, and now we add one from Canada:
the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada (Princess Louise's), part of the Canadian Forces. The Queen is Colonel in Chief, and she has a brooch version of their cap badge to wear when at engagements involving the regiment. It includes a wreath of thistle and maple leaves around their name and motto (
Albainn Gu-Brath, or Scotland Forever). The center features a leopard's head and the whole thing is topped by a crown. It is hard to see the details of the brooch, but it seems to feature enamel as well as gold and possibly silver.
