Twentieth Company

The Union throughout. In the centre, on a mount, vert, an oak tree; therein a man's face imperially crowned, all proper (allusive to the preservation of King Charles the Second after the battle of Worcester), ensigned with the imperial crown. In the dexter canton the number of the company inscribed in Roman characters, gold.

This badge, now borne by the 20th company, was assumed by Charles the Second in memory of his wondrous escape after the battle of Worcester. It is formed of the royal oak tree, in which is placed a crowned likeness of himself.

Twenty-First Company

The Union throughout. In the centre the royal badge of King Edward the Third, viz. the sun rising behind clouds proper. In the dexter canton the number of the company inscribed in Roman characters, gold.

In 1346, when Edward the Black Prince accompanied his father into France, he took for a badge the sun rising out of the clouds, to betoken that, although his courage and princely valour had been hitherto hid from the world, he was now rising to honour and glory.
