THE HALIFAX RIFLES (RCAC), CANADIAN ARMY



(Badge)
Arms of The Halifax Rifles (RCAC), Canadian Army

(Guidon)


Official blazon

On an eight pointed star Argent a hunting horn Or embellished Gules encircling a maple leaf Vert inscribed with the word CANADA in letters Or, the horn pendent from cords Sable enfiling a motto scroll Vert edged and inscribed CEDE NULLIS in letters Or below a like scroll inscribed THE HALIFAX RIFLES and ensigned by the Royal Crown proper.

Origin/meaning

The star is of a type favoured by Canadian regiments in Victorian times. The maple leaf represents service to Canada, and the Crown, service to the Sovereign. The regiment's rifle heritage and their regimental march, the "Huntsmen's Chorus" is symbolized by the horn. Both green and black are important colours used in rifle regiment uniforms. "THE HALIFAX RIFLES" is a form of the regimental title and "CEDE NULLIS" is the motto of the regiment. The Motto translates as "Yield to none".

The Badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on March 1, 2002.
