THOUGHT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT EACH PART OF OUR BERET BADGE REPRESENTS. I HAVE IT AS MY SIGNATURE AND WANT TO SHOW THE 335 YEARS OF HISTORY BEHIND IT
HARRY
JUST IN CASE THE IMAGE IS TO SMALL HERE ARE WHAT EACH PART MEANS
THE LION AND CROWN DENOTE A ' ROYAL ' REGIMENT. GEORGE III CONFERRED THIS HONOUR IN 1802
THE GLOBE ITSELF WAS CHOSEN BY GEORGE IV AS A SYMBOL OF THE MARINES SUCCESSES IN EVERY QUARTER OF THE WORLD ( NO CHANGE THERE THEN).
THE LAURELS ARE FOR THE GALLENTRY DISPLAYED DURING THE CAPTURE OF BELLE ISLE IN 1761
GIBRALTAR IS FROM THE CAPTURE AND DEFENCE OF THAT TERRITRORY IN 1704. IT WAS CONSIDERED BY GEORGE IV AS THE MOST GLORIOUS ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE ROYAL MARINES THAT IT WAS THE ONLY BATTLE HONOUR SHOWN ON THE BADGE AS THE GLOBE REPRESENTED THE BATTLE HONOURS OF THE CORPS.
THE FOULED ANCHOUR DENOTES THAT WE ARE PART OF THE ROYAL NAVY(KEEPS THE TAXI DRIVERS IN A JOB) IS THE BADGE OF THE LORD HIGH ADMIRAL INCORPORATED INTO THE EMBLEM IN 1747
