Badge
Her Majesty the Queen of Canada did approve that this Badge and Mottoes may be borne ensigned by the Royal Crown or by the Royal Arms of Canada. By 1867, the 9-pounder smooth bore muzzle loader was the principal gun of Canadian artillery field batteries, the first of which were formed in 1855. This gun was also the initial equipment of “A” and “B” Batteries when they became the first full-time (regular) Militia units in 1871. The similarity to the Royal Artillery badge emphasizes the close traditional ties between the two regiments. “UBIQUE” and “QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT” are the regimental mottoes.
