WAR SHIELDS FOR MODERN WARRIORS.
Heraldry for many centuries has preserved, by means of a beautiful
convention, the badges worn by the warriors of the Middle Ages. But the
pride with which the descendants of ancient families display their armorial
coats should be as nothing to the pride with which the families of our soldiers
should show their insignia, the badges and ribbons which they won and wore,
and which form an imperishable language in which their deeds are enshrined.
All the numberless signs and tokens, crest and badges, forms and colours
used by the Army, Navy and Air Service are essentially heraldic in character,
and as such can be combined to produce shields of great beauty-shields, too,
which are easily intelligible to service men.
In the illustration -the Arms of a Captain, R.E., the upper part of the
shield is divided into three partswhi^e, purple and white, the colours of the
Military Cross; the lower part represents the 1914-15 Starred, white and
blue with wavy lines the three stars for his rank are placed on the coloured
divisions, his two service chevrons on the white parts of the M.C. ribbon.
Then, too, in the lower portion of the shield is shown the patriarchal cross
from the arms of Ypres, telling of service in the Salient."
On payment of 1/2 (registration fee, with postage) members will be
supplied with an exclusive design in colours embodying a record of their
service. For particulars, write to the Secretary, Ypres League, 23, Henrietta
