I recently seen a nice reasonably cheap little plaque that I�m considering getting to place beside Simon Smith�s painting, which has underneath the badge - WHERE DUTY AND GLORY LEAD.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Royal-Engineers-Sappers-occasions-Retirement/dp/B01GTJBWGQ/ref=sr_1_10?crid=1UHDIOM3AT90M&dchild=1&keywords=royal+engineers+plaque&qid=1603823561&sprefix=Royal+engineers+p%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-10 On closer inspection, on the inside of the badge are words that apparently mean - SHAMED BE WHOEVER THINKS BAD OF IT. The meaning is on Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honi_soit_qui_mal_y_pense Not sure for definite I have ever heard that used before, unless it meant nothing to me at the time, but then again I�m no militaria expert. Interesting, but as the site sometimes has dubious information, is this right ? |
