Warrant Officer Rank Slide

The featured shield is quartered, depicting in the first and fourth quarters the three lions passant guardant of England; in the second, the rampant lion and double tressure fleury-counter-fleury of Scotland; and in the third, a harp for Ireland. The crest is a lion statant guardant wearing the imperial crown, itself on another representation of those crown. The coat features both the motto of British monarchs Dieu et mon droit (God and my right) and the motto of the Order of the garter, Honi soit qui mal y pense (Shamed be he who thinks ill of it) on a representation of the garter behind the shield.
