Description: This embroidered textile insignia is an official dress uniform blazer crest issued by the Royal Canadian Legion. The central layout features a finely stitched red maple leaf resting over a bright white cotton base background. Encircling the leaf is a golden border inscribed with the organization's official Latin remembrance motto, "MEMORIAM EORUM RETINEBIMUS" (We Will Remember Them). The bottom structure is anchored by a deep blue horizontal banner displaying the word "LEGION", which sits directly over three red remembrance poppies stitched into a gold oval base. The entire emblem is surmounted by a detailed Queen's (St. Edward's) crown rendered in gold thread with a bright red velvet cap insert. Measuring 60mm wide by 95mm high, the reverse side is an unmarked, plain fabric backing meant to be sewn directly onto navy blue service blazers.
