Material: Bi-metal (gilding metal with white-metal figure)
Size: 47 mm w × 45 mm h
Description: The design features a silver-colored figure of Mercury, the winged messenger of the gods, running swiftly atop a miniature globe. Encircling this central figure is a prominent gold-toned oval band bearing the raised title "ROYAL CANADIAN CORPS OF SIGNALS." A detailed Tudor Crown rests majestically at the very top apex of the oval frame, while dense clusters of Canadian maple leaves branch out symmetrically down the sides. Anchoring the entire lower base is an elaborate, flowing three-part scroll that displays the unit's proud Latin motto, reading "VELOX VERSUTUS VIGILANS."
Circa: 1921-1952
Notes:
The Latin motto emblazoned across the bottom banner translates to "Swift, Skilled, Alert," perfectly summarizing the operational core values of the corps through two World Wars.
