Cap Badge - Corps of Royal Engineers The Corps Badge (The Royal Arms). On 10 July 1832 King William IV granted the Royal Regiment of Artillery and the Corps of Royal Engineers permission to wear on their appointments the Royal Arms and Supporters, together with a cannon and the mottoes "Ubique" above the cannon and "Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt" below it. In 1868 the cannon was omitted from the Corps Badge. Since then the actual design of the Royal Arms has changed slightly with each reining monarch. The Corps Badge used to be worn on an Officer,s sabretache and cartouche, and on parts of his charger's saddlery. It was worn by all ranks of the Corps of the Regular Army on their full-dress blue spiked helmet up until 1914. The RE Militia, Volunteers and Territorials, however, had a slightly different Badge in that the motto "Ubique" was omitted from the scroll under the Royal Arms and its place taken by a laurel branch. The Monogram of Cypher The Monogram or Cypher, as it is sometimes called, may beused on notepaper and on Christmas Cards and other similar documents. It is not worn on uniform but is emblazoned on the Fanfare Trumpet Banners of the RE Band. An embroidered grenade was first worn on the tail of an RE Officers full dress scarlet coatee in 1824 and the following year a brass grenade was introduced for Other Ranks of the Royal Sappers and Miners.The grenade was later worn on the epaulet and then on the collar. The number of flames to the grenade has varied, but in 1922 a nine-flamed grenade, with the motto Ubique below it, was authorized.The Royal Artillery grenade is similar, but has only seven flames.
