ized ▁usage ▁of ▁two ▁met als , ▁five ▁colours , ▁and ▁two ▁f urs . ▁Since ▁that ▁time , ▁the ▁great ▁majority ▁of ▁her ald ic ▁art ▁has ▁employed ▁these ▁nine ▁t inct ures . ▁ ▁Over ▁time , ▁variations ▁on ▁these ▁basic ▁t inct ures ▁were ▁developed , ▁particularly ▁with ▁respect ▁to ▁the ▁f urs . ▁Author ities ▁differ ▁as ▁to ▁whether ▁these ▁variations ▁should ▁be ▁considered ▁separate ▁t inct ures , ▁or ▁merely ▁vari eties ▁of ▁existing ▁ones . ▁Two ▁additional ▁colours ▁appeared , ▁and ▁were ▁generally ▁accepted ▁by ▁her ald ic ▁writers , ▁although ▁they ▁remained ▁scar ce , ▁and ▁were ▁eventually ▁term ed ▁st ains , ▁from ▁the ▁belief ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁used ▁to ▁sign ify ▁some ▁d ish on our ▁on ▁the ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁bear er . ▁The ▁practice ▁of ▁dep ict ing ▁certain ▁charges ▁as ▁they ▁appear ▁in ▁nature , ▁term ed ▁proper , ▁was ▁established ▁in ▁the ▁sevent e enth ▁century . ▁ ▁Other ▁colours ▁have ▁appeared ▁occasionally ▁since ▁the ▁eigh teenth ▁century , ▁especially ▁in ▁contin ental ▁her ald ry , ▁but ▁their ▁use ▁is ▁inf re quent , ▁and ▁they ▁have ▁never ▁been ▁regarded ▁as ▁particularly ▁her ald ic , ▁or ▁number ed ▁among ▁the ▁t inct ures ▁that ▁form ▁the ▁basis ▁of ▁her ald ic ▁design . ▁ ▁Fre quency ▁and ▁national ▁variants ▁ ▁The ▁frequency ▁with ▁which ▁different ▁t inct ures ▁have ▁been ▁used ▁over ▁time ▁has ▁been ▁much ▁observed , ▁but ▁little ▁studied . ▁There ▁are ▁some ▁general ▁tr ends
▁of ▁note , ▁both ▁with ▁respect ▁to ▁the ▁passage ▁of ▁time , ▁and ▁noted ▁prefer ences ▁from ▁one ▁region ▁to ▁another . ▁ ▁In ▁medieval ▁her ald ry , ▁g ules ▁was ▁by ▁far ▁the ▁most ▁common ▁t inct ure , ▁followed ▁by ▁the ▁met als ▁argent ▁and ▁or , ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁of ▁which ▁necessarily ▁appeared ▁on ▁the ▁majority ▁of ▁arms ▁( see ▁below ). ▁ ▁Among ▁the ▁colours , ▁s able ▁was ▁the ▁second ▁most ▁common , ▁followed ▁by ▁azure . ▁Vert , ▁although ▁present ▁from ▁the ▁form ative ▁period ▁of ▁her ald ic ▁design , ▁was ▁relatively ▁scar ce . ▁ ▁Over ▁time , ▁the ▁popular ity ▁of ▁azure ▁increased ▁above ▁that ▁of ▁s able , ▁while ▁g ules , ▁still ▁the ▁most ▁common , ▁became ▁less ▁dominant . ▁ ▁A ▁survey ▁of ▁French ▁arms ▁granted ▁during ▁the ▁sevent e enth ▁century ▁reve als ▁a ▁distinct ▁split ▁between ▁the ▁tr ends ▁for ▁the ▁arms ▁granted ▁to ▁nobles ▁and ▁common ers . ▁Among ▁nobles , ▁g ules ▁remained ▁the ▁most ▁common ▁t inct ure , ▁closely ▁followed ▁by ▁or , ▁then ▁by ▁argent ▁and ▁azure ▁at ▁nearly ▁equal ▁levels ; ▁s able ▁was ▁a ▁very ▁distant ▁fifth ▁choice , ▁while ▁vert ▁remained ▁scar ce . ▁Among ▁common ers , ▁azure ▁was ▁easily ▁the ▁most ▁common ▁t inct ure , ▁followed ▁by ▁or , ▁and ▁only ▁then ▁by ▁g ules , ▁argent , ▁and ▁s able , ▁which ▁was ▁used ▁more ▁by ▁common ers ▁than ▁among ▁the ▁nob ility ; ▁vert ,
▁however , ▁was ▁even ▁scar cer ▁in ▁common ▁arms . ▁Pur p ure ▁is ▁so ▁scar ce ▁in ▁French ▁her ald ry ▁that ▁some ▁authorities ▁do ▁not ▁regard ▁it ▁as ▁a ▁" real ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ure ". ▁ ▁On ▁the ▁whole , ▁French ▁her ald ry ▁is ▁known ▁for ▁its ▁use ▁of ▁azure ▁and ▁or , ▁while ▁English ▁her ald ry ▁is ▁character ized ▁by ▁heavy ▁use ▁of ▁g ules ▁and ▁argent , ▁and ▁unlike ▁French ▁her ald ry , ▁it ▁has ▁always ▁made ▁regular ▁use ▁of ▁vert , ▁and ▁occas ional , ▁if ▁not ▁extensive , ▁use ▁of ▁pur p ure . ▁German ▁her ald ry ▁is ▁known ▁for ▁its ▁extensive ▁use ▁of ▁or ▁and ▁s able . ▁German ▁and ▁Nord ic ▁her ald ry ▁rarely ▁make ▁use ▁of ▁pur p ure ▁or ▁er mine , ▁except ▁in ▁mant ling , ▁pav il ions , ▁and ▁the ▁l ining ▁of ▁crow ns ▁and ▁caps . ▁In ▁fact , ▁f urs ▁occur ▁inf re qu ently ▁in ▁German ▁and ▁Nord ic ▁her ald ry . ▁ ▁List ▁ ▁The ▁colours ▁and ▁patterns ▁of ▁the ▁her ald ic ▁p alette ▁are ▁divided ▁into ▁three ▁groups , ▁usually ▁known ▁as ▁met als , ▁colours , ▁and ▁f urs . ▁ ▁Met als ▁ ▁The ▁met als ▁are ▁or ▁and ▁argent , ▁representing ▁gold ▁and ▁silver ▁respectively , ▁although ▁in ▁practice ▁they ▁are ▁often ▁dep icted ▁as ▁yellow ▁and ▁white . ▁ ▁Or ▁( G er . ▁, ▁, ▁or ▁) ▁der ives
▁its ▁name ▁from ▁the ▁Latin ▁aur um , ▁" g old ". ▁ ▁It ▁may ▁be ▁dep icted ▁using ▁either ▁yellow ▁or ▁met all ic ▁gold , ▁at ▁the ▁artist ' s ▁dis cret ion ; ▁" yellow " ▁has ▁no ▁separate ▁existence ▁in ▁her ald ry , ▁and ▁is ▁never ▁used ▁to ▁represent ▁any ▁t inct ure ▁other ▁than ▁or . ▁ ▁Argent ▁( G er . ▁, ▁, ▁, ▁or ▁) ▁is ▁similarly ▁derived ▁from ▁the ▁Latin ▁argent um , ▁" sil ver ". ▁ ▁Although ▁sometimes ▁dep icted ▁as ▁met all ic ▁silver ▁or ▁faint ▁grey , ▁it ▁is ▁more ▁often ▁represented ▁by ▁white , ▁in ▁part ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁t endency ▁for ▁silver ▁paint ▁to ▁ox id ize ▁and ▁dark en ▁over ▁time , ▁and ▁in ▁part ▁because ▁of ▁the ▁ple asing ▁effect ▁of ▁white ▁against ▁a ▁contrast ing ▁colour . ▁ ▁Not with standing ▁the ▁w ides p read ▁use ▁of ▁white ▁for ▁argent , ▁some ▁her ald ic ▁authorities ▁have ▁suggested ▁the ▁existence ▁of ▁white ▁as ▁a ▁distinct ▁her ald ic ▁colour . ▁ ▁Col ours ▁ ▁Five ▁colours ▁have ▁been ▁recognized ▁since ▁the ▁earliest ▁days ▁of ▁her ald ry . ▁ ▁These ▁are : ▁g ules , ▁or ▁red ; ▁s able , ▁or ▁black ; ▁azure , ▁or ▁blue ; ▁vert , ▁or ▁green ; ▁and ▁pur p ure , ▁or ▁pur ple . ▁ ▁G ules ▁( Fr . ▁, ▁Ger . ▁) ▁is ▁of ▁uncertain ▁deriv ation ; ▁outside ▁of ▁the ▁her ald
ic ▁context , ▁the ▁modern ▁French ▁word ▁refers ▁to ▁the ▁mouth ▁of ▁an ▁animal . ▁ ▁S able ▁( G er . ▁) ▁is ▁named ▁for ▁a ▁type ▁of ▁m arten , ▁known ▁for ▁its ▁dark , ▁lux uri ant ▁fur . ▁ ▁Azure ▁( Fr . ▁ ▁or ▁, ▁Ger . ▁) ▁comes ▁through ▁the ▁Arab ic ▁l ā za ward , ▁ ▁from ▁the ▁Pers ian ▁l ā ž av ard ▁both ▁referring ▁to ▁the ▁blue ▁min eral ▁la pis ▁la z uli , ▁used ▁to ▁produce ▁blue ▁p ig ments . ▁ ▁Vert ▁( Fr . ▁ ▁or ▁, ▁Ger . ▁) ▁is ▁from ▁Latin ▁vir id is , ▁" green ". ▁ ▁The ▁alternative ▁name ▁in ▁French , ▁sin ople , ▁is ▁derived ▁from ▁the ▁ancient ▁city ▁of ▁S ino pe ▁in ▁Asia ▁Minor , ▁which ▁was ▁famous ▁for ▁its ▁p ig ments . ▁ ▁Pur p ure ▁( Fr . ▁ ▁or ▁, ▁Ger . ▁) ▁is ▁from ▁Latin ▁pur p ura , ▁in ▁turn ▁from ▁Greek ▁por phy ra , ▁the ▁d ye ▁known ▁as ▁Ty rian ▁pur ple . ▁ ▁This ▁expensive ▁d ye , ▁known ▁from ▁anti qu ity , ▁produced ▁a ▁much ▁red der ▁pur ple ▁than ▁the ▁modern ▁her ald ic ▁colour ; ▁and ▁in ▁fact ▁earlier ▁dep ict ions ▁of ▁pur p ure ▁are ▁far ▁red der ▁than ▁recent ▁ones . ▁ ▁As ▁a ▁her ald ic ▁colour , ▁pur p ure ▁may ▁have ▁origin ated ▁as ▁a ▁variation ▁of ▁g ules
. ▁ ▁St ains ▁Two ▁more ▁t inct ures ▁were ▁eventually ▁acknowled ged ▁by ▁most ▁her ald ic ▁authorities : ▁s angu ine ▁or ▁mur rey , ▁a ▁dark ▁red ▁or ▁mul berry ▁colour ; ▁and ▁t enn é , ▁an ▁orange ▁or ▁dark ▁yellow ▁to ▁brown ish ▁colour . ▁ ▁These ▁were ▁term ed ▁" st ains " ▁by ▁some ▁of ▁the ▁more ▁influ ential ▁her ald ic ▁writers , ▁and ▁supposed ▁to ▁represent ▁some ▁sort ▁of ▁d ish on our ▁on ▁the ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁bear er ; ▁but ▁in ▁fact ▁there ▁is ▁no ▁evidence ▁that ▁they ▁were ▁ever ▁so ▁employed , ▁and ▁they ▁probably ▁origin ated ▁as ▁mere ▁variations ▁of ▁existing ▁colours . ▁ ▁Nevertheless , ▁the ▁belief ▁that ▁they ▁represented ▁st ains ▁upon ▁the ▁honour ▁of ▁an ▁arm iger ▁served ▁to ▁prevent ▁them ▁receiving ▁w ides p read ▁use , ▁and ▁it ▁is ▁only ▁in ▁recent ▁times ▁that ▁they ▁have ▁begun ▁to ▁appear ▁on ▁a ▁regular ▁basis . ▁ ▁S angu ine ▁or ▁Mur rey , ▁from ▁Latin ▁, ▁" blo od ▁red ", ▁and ▁Greek ▁, ▁" mul berry ", ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁two ▁so - called ▁" st ains " ▁in ▁British ▁arm ory , ▁is ▁a ▁dark ▁red ▁or ▁mul berry ▁colour , ▁between ▁g ules ▁and ▁pur p ure ▁in ▁h ue . ▁ ▁It ▁probably ▁origin ated ▁as ▁a ▁mere ▁variation ▁of ▁one ▁of ▁those ▁two ▁colours , ▁and ▁may ▁in ▁fact ▁represent ▁the ▁original ▁h ue ▁of ▁pur p ure , ▁which ▁is
▁now ▁treated ▁as ▁a ▁much ▁bl uer ▁colour ▁than ▁when ▁it ▁first ▁appeared ▁in ▁her ald ry . ▁ ▁Although ▁long ▁sh unn ed ▁in ▁the ▁belief ▁that ▁it ▁represented ▁some ▁d ish on our ▁on ▁the ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁bear er , ▁it ▁has ▁found ▁some ▁use ▁in ▁the ▁tw enti eth ▁and ▁twenty - first ▁centuries . ▁ ▁T enn é ▁or ▁ten ny , ▁from ▁Latin ▁, ▁" to ▁tan ", ▁is ▁the ▁second ▁of ▁the ▁so - called ▁" st ains ". ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁most ▁often ▁dep icted ▁as ▁orange , ▁but ▁sometimes ▁as ▁ta wn y ▁yellow ▁or ▁brown . ▁ ▁In ▁earlier ▁times ▁it ▁was ▁occasionally ▁used ▁in ▁contin ental ▁her ald ry , ▁but ▁in ▁England ▁largely ▁conf ined ▁to ▁li very . ▁ ▁F urs ▁ ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁her ald ic ▁f urs ▁alongside ▁the ▁met als ▁and ▁colours ▁dates ▁to ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁the ▁art . ▁ ▁In ▁this ▁earliest ▁period , ▁there ▁were ▁only ▁two ▁f urs , ▁er mine ▁and ▁v air . ▁ ▁Er mine ▁represents ▁the ▁fur ▁of ▁the ▁sto at , ▁a ▁type ▁of ▁we as el , ▁in ▁its ▁white ▁winter ▁coat , ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁called ▁an ▁er mine . ▁V air ▁represents ▁the ▁winter ▁coat ▁of ▁the ▁red ▁squ ir rel , ▁which ▁is ▁blue - gre y ▁above ▁and ▁white ▁below . ▁ ▁These ▁f urs ▁were ▁commonly ▁used ▁to ▁line ▁the ▁clo aks ▁and ▁ro bes ▁of ▁the ▁nob ility . ▁
▁Both ▁er mine ▁and ▁v air ▁give ▁the ▁appearance ▁of ▁being ▁a ▁combination ▁of ▁metal ▁and ▁colour , ▁but ▁in ▁her ald ic ▁convention ▁they ▁are ▁considered ▁a ▁separate ▁class ▁of ▁t inct ure ▁that ▁is ▁neither ▁metal ▁nor ▁colour . ▁ ▁Over ▁time , ▁several ▁variations ▁of ▁er mine ▁and ▁v air ▁have ▁appeared , ▁together ▁with ▁three ▁additional ▁f urs ▁typically ▁encountered ▁in ▁contin ental ▁her ald ry , ▁known ▁as ▁pl um et é , ▁papel onn é , ▁and ▁k ür sch , ▁the ▁orig ins ▁of ▁which ▁are ▁more ▁myster ious , ▁but ▁which ▁probably ▁began ▁as ▁variations ▁of ▁v air . ▁ ▁Er mine ▁ ▁Er mine ▁( Fr . ▁, ▁Ger . ▁) ▁is ▁normally ▁dep icted ▁as ▁a ▁white ▁field ▁pow der ed ▁with ▁black ▁sp ots , ▁known ▁as ▁" erm ine ▁sp ots ", ▁representing ▁the ▁er mine ' s ▁black ▁tail . ▁ ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁white ▁instead ▁of ▁silver ▁is ▁normal , ▁even ▁when ▁silver ▁is ▁available , ▁since ▁this ▁is ▁how ▁the ▁fur ▁naturally ▁appears ; ▁but ▁occasionally ▁silver ▁is ▁used ▁to ▁dep ict ▁er mine . ▁There ▁is ▁considerable ▁variation ▁in ▁the ▁shape ▁of ▁er mine ▁sp ots ; ▁in ▁the ▁oldest ▁dep ict ions , ▁they ▁were ▁drawn ▁real ist ically , ▁as ▁long , ▁tap ering ▁points ; ▁in ▁modern ▁times ▁they ▁are ▁typically ▁drawn ▁as ▁arrow head s , ▁usually ▁to pped ▁by ▁three ▁small ▁d ots . ▁ ▁V air ▁ ▁V air ▁( G
er . ▁) ▁der ives ▁its ▁name ▁from ▁Latin ▁, ▁" var ieg ated ". ▁ ▁It ▁is ▁usually ▁dep icted ▁as ▁a ▁series ▁of ▁altern ating ▁shapes , ▁convention ally ▁known ▁as ▁pan es ▁or ▁" v air ▁b ells ", ▁of ▁argent ▁and ▁azure , ▁arranged ▁in ▁horizontal ▁rows , ▁so ▁that ▁the ▁pan es ▁of ▁one ▁t inct ure ▁form ▁the ▁upper ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁row , ▁while ▁those ▁of ▁the ▁opposite ▁t inct ure ▁are ▁on ▁the ▁bottom . ▁S uc ceed ing ▁rows ▁are ▁st agger ed , ▁so ▁that ▁the ▁bases ▁of ▁the ▁pan es ▁making ▁up ▁each ▁row ▁are ▁opposite ▁those ▁of ▁the ▁other ▁t inct ure ▁in ▁the ▁rows ▁above ▁and ▁below . ▁ ▁As ▁with ▁er mine , ▁the ▁argent ▁pan es ▁may ▁be ▁dep icted ▁as ▁either ▁white ▁or ▁silver ; ▁silver ▁is ▁used ▁more ▁often ▁with ▁v air ▁than ▁with ▁er mine , ▁but ▁the ▁natural ▁fur ▁is ▁white . ▁ ▁When ▁the ▁pattern ▁of ▁v air ▁is ▁used ▁with ▁other ▁colours , ▁the ▁field ▁is ▁term ed ▁v air é ▁or ▁v air y ▁of ▁the ▁t inct ures ▁used . ▁ ▁Norm ally ▁v air é ▁consists ▁of ▁one ▁metal ▁and ▁one ▁colour , ▁although ▁er mine ▁or ▁one ▁of ▁its ▁variants ▁is ▁sometimes ▁used , ▁with ▁an ▁er mine ▁spot ▁appearing ▁in ▁each ▁p ane ▁of ▁that ▁t inct ure . ▁ ▁V air é ▁of ▁four ▁colours ▁( G er . ▁, ▁" g ay - col oured
" ▁or ▁" checked ▁v air ") ▁is ▁also ▁known , ▁usually ▁consisting ▁of ▁two ▁met als ▁and ▁two ▁colours . ▁ ▁Several ▁variant ▁shapes ▁exist , ▁of ▁which ▁the ▁most ▁common ▁is ▁known ▁as ▁pot ent ▁( G er . ▁, ▁" ups ide - down ▁cr utch ▁v air "). ▁In ▁this ▁form , ▁the ▁familiar ▁" v air ▁bell " ▁is ▁replaced ▁by ▁a ▁T - sh aped ▁figure , ▁known ▁as ▁a ▁" pot ent " ▁due ▁to ▁its ▁res embl ance ▁to ▁a ▁cr utch . ▁Other ▁f urs ▁sometimes ▁encountered ▁in ▁contin ental ▁her ald ry , ▁which ▁are ▁thought ▁to ▁be ▁derived ▁from ▁v air , ▁include ▁pl um et é ▁or ▁pl um et ty ▁and ▁ ▁papel onn é ▁or ▁pap ell ony . ▁In ▁pl um et é , ▁the ▁pan es ▁are ▁dep icted ▁as ▁fe athers ; ▁in ▁papel onn é ▁they ▁are ▁dep icted ▁as ▁scales , ▁res emb ling ▁those ▁of ▁a ▁but ter fly ' s ▁wings ▁( wh ence ▁the ▁name ▁is ▁derived ). ▁These ▁can ▁be ▁modified ▁with ▁the ▁color , ▁arrangement , ▁and ▁size ▁variants ▁of ▁v air , ▁though ▁those ▁variants ▁are ▁much ▁less ▁common . ▁In ▁German ▁her ald ry ▁there ▁is ▁also ▁a ▁fur ▁known ▁as ▁K ür sch , ▁or ▁" v air ▁bel lies ", ▁consisting ▁of ▁pan es ▁dep icted ▁hair y ▁and ▁brown . ▁ ▁Here ▁the ▁phrase ▁" v air ▁bel lies " ▁may ▁be ▁a ▁mis
nom er , ▁as ▁the ▁bel ly ▁of ▁the ▁red ▁squ ir rel ▁is ▁always ▁white , ▁although ▁its ▁summer ▁coat ▁is ▁indeed ▁re dd ish ▁brown . ▁ ▁Other ▁t inct ures ▁ ▁Several ▁other ▁t inct ures ▁are ▁occasionally ▁encountered , ▁usually ▁in ▁contin ental ▁her ald ry : ▁ ▁C end r ée , ▁or ▁" ash - col our "; ▁Brun âtre ▁( G er . ▁), ▁or ▁brown , ▁occasionally ▁used ▁in ▁German ▁her ald ry , ▁in ▁place ▁of ▁pur p ure ; ▁Ble u - c él este ▁or ▁ble u ▁de ▁ciel , ▁a ▁sky ▁blue ▁colour ▁intended ▁to ▁be ▁l ighter ▁than ▁azure ; ▁Am ar anth ▁or ▁col umb ine , ▁a ▁strong ▁vio let - red , ▁found ▁in ▁at ▁least ▁one ▁grant ▁of ▁arms ▁to ▁a ▁Boh em ian ▁kn ight ▁in ▁ 1 7 0 1 ; ▁Eisen - far be , ▁or ▁iron - col our , ▁found ▁in ▁German ▁her ald ry ; ▁and ▁Car n ation , ▁often ▁used ▁in ▁French ▁her ald ry ▁as ▁the ▁colour ▁of ▁flesh . ▁ ▁The ▁her ald ic ▁scholar ▁A . ▁C . ▁Fox - D av ies ▁proposed ▁that , ▁in ▁some ▁circumstances , ▁white ▁should ▁be ▁considered ▁a ▁her ald ic ▁colour , ▁distinct ▁from ▁argent . ▁ ▁In ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁instances , ▁a ▁label ▁or ▁col lar ▁bla zon ed ▁as ▁" white " ▁rather ▁than ▁" argent " ▁appears ▁on ▁a ▁supp orter ▁bla zon
ed ▁argent ▁or ▁or . ▁ ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁" white " ▁in ▁place ▁of ▁" argent " ▁would ▁be ▁consistent ▁with ▁the ▁practice ▁of ▁her ald ic ▁bla zon ▁that ▁disc ou rages ▁repeating ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁a ▁t inct ure ▁in ▁describing ▁a ▁coat ▁of ▁arms , ▁but ▁if ▁it ▁were ▁merely ▁intended ▁as ▁a ▁syn onym ▁of ▁" argent ", ▁this ▁pla cement ▁would ▁clearly ▁viol ate ▁the ▁rule ▁against ▁placing ▁metal ▁on ▁metal ▁or ▁colour ▁on ▁colour ▁( see ▁below ). ▁ ▁This ▁difficulty ▁is ▁avoided ▁if ▁" white " ▁is ▁considered ▁a ▁colour ▁in ▁this ▁particular ▁instance , ▁rather ▁than ▁a ▁syn onym ▁of ▁" argent ". ▁ ▁This ▁interpretation ▁has ▁neither ▁been ▁accepted ▁nor ▁ref uted ▁by ▁any ▁her ald ic ▁authority , ▁but ▁a ▁counter - argument ▁is ▁that ▁the ▁labels ▁are ▁not ▁intended ▁to ▁represent ▁a ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ure , ▁but ▁are ▁in ▁fact ▁white ▁labels ▁proper . ▁ ▁Other ▁exception al ▁colours ▁have ▁occasionally ▁appeared ▁during ▁the ▁tw enti eth ▁and ▁twenty - first ▁centuries : ▁ ▁The ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁Jewish ▁Aut onom ous ▁Region ▁in ▁Russia ▁have ▁a ▁field ▁of ▁aqu amar ine , ▁which ▁is ▁emb la zon ed ▁more ▁as ▁a ▁kind ▁of ▁dark ▁green ▁than ▁a ▁true ▁aqu amar ine ▁colour . ▁ ▁The ▁Canadian ▁Her ald ic ▁Author ity ▁granted ▁arms ▁containing ▁rose ▁as ▁a ▁colour ▁in ▁ 1 9 9 7 . ▁ ▁In ▁ 2 0 0 2 , ▁the ▁Author ity ▁granted
▁arms ▁including ▁co pper , ▁treated ▁as ▁a ▁metal , ▁to ▁the ▁municipality ▁of ▁White hor se , ▁Y uk on . ▁ ▁O ch re , ▁both ▁red ▁and ▁yellow , ▁appears ▁in ▁South ▁African ▁her ald ry ; ▁the ▁national ▁coat ▁of ▁arms , ▁adopted ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 0 , ▁includes ▁red ▁och re , ▁while ▁( yellow ) ▁och re ▁appears ▁in ▁the ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁University ▁of ▁Trans ke i . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁United ▁States , ▁her ald ry ▁is ▁not ▁govern ed ▁by ▁any ▁official ▁authority ; ▁but ▁the ▁United ▁States ▁Army , ▁which ▁makes ▁extensive ▁use ▁of ▁her ald ry , ▁does ▁have ▁its ▁own ▁authority , ▁the ▁United ▁States ▁Army ▁Institute ▁of ▁Her ald ry . ▁ ▁The ▁arm orial ▁designs ▁of ▁the ▁Institute ▁of ▁Her ald ry ▁include ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁novel ▁t inct ures , ▁including ▁buff ▁( emp loy ed ▁various ly ▁as ▁either ▁a ▁metal ▁or ▁a ▁colour ), ▁and ▁horizon ▁blue . ▁ ▁Silver ▁gray ▁has ▁appeared ▁in ▁the ▁her ald ry ▁of ▁both ▁the ▁Army ▁and ▁the ▁Air ▁Force . ▁ ▁Bron ze ▁appears ▁as ▁a ▁colour ▁in ▁the ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁Special ▁Tro ops ▁Battalion ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Brigade , ▁ 1 st ▁Caval ry ▁Division . ▁ ▁There ▁seems ▁to ▁be ▁some ▁confusion ▁about ▁the ▁colour ▁crim son , ▁as ▁in ▁some ▁cases ▁it ▁is ▁treated ▁as ▁a ▁separate ▁t inct ure , ▁while ▁in ▁others ▁it ▁is ▁used ▁to ▁specify ▁the ▁sh
ade ▁of ▁g ules ▁to ▁be ▁employed ▁by ▁the ▁artist . ▁ ▁D iffer ing ▁from ▁most ▁her ald ic ▁practice , ▁the ▁Institute ▁of ▁Her ald ry ▁often ▁spec ifies ▁the ▁exact ▁sh ades ▁to ▁be ▁used ▁in ▁dep ict ing ▁various ▁arms . ▁ ▁Buff ▁is ▁also ▁used ▁by ▁the ▁Canadian ▁Her ald ic ▁Author ity , ▁who ▁treat ▁it ▁as ▁a ▁colour . ▁ ▁Pro per ▁ ▁A ▁charge ▁that ▁is ▁col oured ▁as ▁it ▁naturally ▁appears ▁is ▁bla zon ed ▁proper ▁( Fr . ▁), ▁or ▁" the ▁colour ▁of ▁nature ". ▁ ▁Str ict ly ▁speaking , ▁proper ▁is ▁not ▁a ▁t inct ure ▁in ▁itself , ▁and ▁if , ▁as ▁is ▁sometimes ▁the ▁case , ▁a ▁charge ▁is ▁meant ▁to ▁be ▁dep icted ▁in ▁particular ▁colours ▁that ▁are ▁not ▁apparent ▁from ▁the ▁word ▁" pro per " ▁alone , ▁they ▁may ▁be ▁specified ▁in ▁whatever ▁detail ▁is ▁necessary . ▁ ▁C ertain ▁charges ▁are ▁considered ▁" pro per " ▁when ▁port rayed ▁with ▁particular ▁colours , ▁even ▁though ▁a ▁range ▁of ▁different ▁colours ▁is ▁found ▁in ▁nature ; ▁for ▁instance , ▁a ▁pop in j ay ▁proper ▁is ▁green , ▁even ▁though ▁wild ▁par ro ts ▁occur ▁in ▁a ▁variety ▁of ▁colours . ▁In ▁some ▁cases , ▁a ▁charge ▁dep icted ▁in ▁a ▁particular ▁set ▁of ▁colours ▁may ▁be ▁referred ▁to ▁as ▁" pro per ", ▁even ▁though ▁it ▁consists ▁entirely ▁of ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ures ; ▁a ▁rose ▁proper , ▁whether ▁red ▁or ▁white
, ▁is ▁bar bed ▁vert ▁and ▁seed ed ▁or . ▁ ▁The ▁most ▁extensive ▁use ▁of ▁non - her ald ic ▁colours ▁is ▁probably ▁associated ▁with ▁" lands cape ▁her ald ry ", ▁a ▁common ▁feature ▁of ▁British ▁and ▁German ▁arm ory ▁during ▁the ▁latter ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁eigh teenth ▁century , ▁and ▁the ▁early ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁nin ete enth . ▁ ▁Although ▁rarely ▁used ▁for ▁the ▁field ▁itself , ▁land sc apes ▁were ▁often ▁granted ▁as ▁augment ations , ▁typically ▁dep ict ing ▁a ▁for tr ess ▁successfully ▁captured ▁or ▁def ended , ▁or ▁a ▁particular ▁ship , ▁or ▁a ▁battle ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁arm iger ▁to ▁whom ▁the ▁augment ation ▁was ▁granted ▁was ▁involved . ▁ ▁Such ▁land sc apes , ▁usually ▁appearing ▁on ▁a ▁chief , ▁might ▁be ▁bla zon ed ▁with ▁great ▁particular ity ▁as ▁to ▁the ▁things ▁port rayed ▁and ▁the ▁colours ▁used ▁to ▁port ray ▁them . ▁ ▁Official ly , ▁these ▁land sc apes ▁appeared ▁on ▁a ▁field ▁of ▁argent , ▁but ▁it ▁was ▁common , ▁and ▁perhaps ▁expected , ▁for ▁the ▁artist ▁to ▁add ▁further ▁details , ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁sky ▁and ▁clouds , ▁by ▁which ▁the ▁field ▁might ▁be ▁wh olly ▁obsc ured . ▁ ▁The ▁use ▁of ▁land sc apes ▁in ▁her ald ry ▁fell ▁out ▁of ▁fashion ▁during ▁the ▁Victor ian ▁era , ▁when ▁her ald ic ▁sch ol ars ▁and ▁artists ▁began ▁looking ▁to ▁earlier ▁and ▁simpler ▁periods ▁of ▁arm orial ▁design ▁for ▁insp iration . ▁ ▁Term in ology
▁ ▁In ▁the ▁English - spe aking ▁world , ▁her ald ic ▁termin ology ▁is ▁based ▁largely ▁on ▁that ▁of ▁British ▁arm ory , ▁which ▁in ▁turn ▁is ▁based ▁on ▁Norman ▁French . ▁With ▁respect ▁to ▁the ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ures , ▁French ▁her ald ry , ▁which ▁is ▁often ▁c ited ▁by ▁her ald ic ▁authors , ▁uses ▁similar ▁termin ology . ▁However , ▁German ▁her ald ry , ▁also ▁highly ▁influ ential , ▁uses ▁a ▁different ▁voc ab ul ary ; ▁it ▁calls ▁the ▁colours ▁by ▁their ▁every day ▁names . ▁ ▁In ▁its ▁original ▁sense , ▁t inct ure ▁refers ▁only ▁to ▁the ▁group ▁convention ally ▁referred ▁to ▁as ▁" col ours ". ▁But ▁as ▁the ▁word ▁" col our " ▁seems ▁in app lic able ▁to ▁the ▁her ald ic ▁f urs , ▁and ▁no ▁other ▁term ▁clearly ▁en comp ass es ▁all ▁three ▁classes , ▁the ▁word ▁" t inct ure " ▁has ▁come ▁to ▁be ▁used ▁in ▁this ▁bro ader ▁sense , ▁while ▁" col our " ▁has ▁acquired ▁the ▁more ▁restricted ▁sense ▁originally ▁given ▁to ▁" t inct ure ". ▁Thus , ▁when ▁consult ing ▁various ▁her ald ic ▁authorities , ▁care ▁must ▁be ▁taken ▁to ▁determine ▁which ▁meaning ▁each ▁term ▁is ▁given . ▁ ▁Design ations ▁ ▁Art istic ▁libert ies ▁In ▁most ▁her ald ic ▁tradition , ▁the ▁various ▁met als ▁and ▁colours ▁have ▁no ▁fixed ▁appearance , ▁h ue , ▁or ▁sh ade . ▁ ▁The ▁her ald ic ▁artist ▁is
▁free ▁to ▁choose ▁a ▁l ighter ▁or ▁dark er ▁blue ▁or ▁green , ▁a ▁deeper ▁or ▁br ighter ▁red ; ▁to ▁choose ▁between ▁dep ict ing ▁or ▁with ▁yellow ▁or ▁any ▁of ▁various ▁gold ▁pain ts , ▁to ▁dep ict ▁argent ▁as ▁white ▁or ▁silver . ▁ ▁Rec ently ▁the ▁College ▁of ▁Ar ms ▁explained , ▁" there ▁are ▁no ▁fixed ▁sh ades ▁for ▁her ald ic ▁colours . ▁If ▁the ▁official ▁description ▁of ▁a ▁coat ▁of ▁arms ▁gives ▁its ▁t inct ures ▁as ▁G ules ▁( red ), ▁Azure ▁( blue ) ▁and ▁Argent ▁( white ▁or ▁silver ) ▁then , ▁as ▁long ▁as ▁the ▁blue ▁is ▁not ▁too ▁light ▁and ▁the ▁red ▁not ▁too ▁orange , ▁pur ple ▁or ▁p ink , ▁it ▁is ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁artist ▁to ▁decide ▁which ▁particular ▁sh ades ▁they ▁think ▁are ▁appropriate ." ▁ ▁In ▁bla zon ing ▁▁ ▁Most ▁her ald ic ▁authors ▁do ▁not ▁capital ize ▁the ▁names ▁of ▁the ▁various ▁t inct ures , ▁although ▁a ▁few ▁do ▁( s ometimes ▁incons ist ently ), ▁and ▁some ▁who ▁do ▁not ▁capital ize ▁the ▁other ▁t inct ures ▁recommend ▁capital izing ▁" or " ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁avoid ▁confusion ▁with ▁the ▁conj unction . ▁ ▁However , ▁there ▁are ▁relatively ▁few ▁occasions ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁conj unction ▁" or " ▁would ▁appear ▁in ▁the ▁bla zon ▁of ▁a ▁coat ▁of ▁arms ; ▁and ▁if ▁properly ▁word ed , ▁which ▁meaning ▁is ▁intended ▁should ▁be ▁readily ▁apparent ▁from ▁the ▁context . ▁ ▁Another ▁convention
▁has ▁been ▁to ▁capital ize ▁only ▁the ▁first ▁word ▁or ▁the ▁first ▁t inct ure ▁appearing ▁in ▁the ▁bla zon , ▁but ▁no ▁other ▁words . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁elaborate ▁call ig raph y ▁appearing ▁on ▁most ▁gr ants ▁of ▁arms , ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁t inct ures ▁are ▁capital ized , ▁as ▁indeed ▁are ▁the ▁names ▁of ▁the ▁charges ; ▁but ▁this ▁is ▁purely ▁a ▁matter ▁of ▁decor ative ▁style , ▁and ▁in ▁no ▁way ▁does ▁the ▁manner ▁of ▁capital ization ▁used ▁in ▁the ▁original ▁grant ▁affect ▁how ▁the ▁arms ▁may ▁be ▁described ▁on ▁other ▁occasions . ▁ ▁A ▁long - standing ▁her ald ic ▁tradition ▁has ▁been ▁to ▁avoid ▁repeating ▁the ▁names ▁of ▁t inct ures ▁multiple ▁times ▁in ▁any ▁given ▁bla zon . ▁ ▁If ▁it ▁is ▁possible ▁to ▁mention ▁multiple ▁charges ▁of ▁the ▁same ▁t inct ure ▁at ▁once , ▁followed ▁by ▁the ▁name ▁of ▁the ▁t inct ure , ▁then ▁this ▁problem ▁is ▁avoided ; ▁but ▁when ▁it ▁is ▁impossible ▁to ▁combine ▁elements ▁of ▁the ▁same ▁t inct ure ▁in ▁this ▁manner , ▁more ▁cre ative ▁descri ptions ▁may ▁be ▁used . ▁ ▁For ▁example , ▁instead ▁of ▁" g ules , ▁on ▁a ▁f ess ▁or ▁between ▁three ▁ch ess - ro oks ▁argent , ▁a ▁l ion ▁pass ant ▁g ules , ▁armed ▁and ▁l angu ed ▁argent ", ▁one ▁might ▁say , ▁" g ules , ▁on ▁a ▁f ess ▁or ▁between ▁three ▁ch ess - ro oks ▁argent , ▁a ▁l ion ▁pass ant
▁of ▁the ▁field , ▁armed ▁and ▁l angu ed ▁of ▁the ▁third ." ▁ ▁Similar ▁phr ases ▁include ▁" of ▁the ▁last " ▁and ▁" of ▁the ▁like ". ▁ ▁Altern ately , ▁descri ptions ▁such ▁as ▁" g old " ▁and ▁" sil ver " ▁might ▁be ▁subst it uted ▁for ▁" or " ▁and ▁" argent " ▁on ▁a ▁subsequent ▁occurrence . ▁ ▁Another ▁rule ▁of ▁bla zon ▁rel ating ▁to ▁t inct ures ▁suggests ▁the ▁placing ▁of ▁a ▁comma ▁after ▁each ▁occurrence ▁of ▁a ▁t inct ure . ▁ ▁In ▁recent ▁years , ▁the ▁College ▁of ▁Ar ms ▁has ▁regularly ▁disp ensed ▁with ▁many ▁of ▁these ▁practices , ▁bel ieving ▁them ▁to ▁cause ▁confusion ; ▁and ▁in ▁new ▁gr ants ▁of ▁arms , ▁the ▁names ▁of ▁t inct ures ▁are ▁repeated ▁on ▁each ▁instance ▁that ▁they ▁occur . ▁ ▁The ▁names ▁of ▁all ▁t inct ures ▁and ▁charges ▁are ▁capital ized , ▁although ▁the ▁word ▁" pro per ", ▁indicating ▁the ▁colour ▁of ▁nature , ▁is ▁not ; ▁and ▁internal ▁comm as ▁are ▁entirely ▁omitted . ▁ ▁Rule ▁of ▁t inct ure ▁▁ ▁The ▁first ▁so - called ▁" rule " ▁of ▁her ald ry ▁is ▁the ▁rule ▁of ▁t inct ure : ▁metal ▁should ▁not ▁be ▁placed ▁upon ▁metal , ▁nor ▁colour ▁upon ▁colour , ▁for ▁the ▁sake ▁of ▁contrast . ▁ ▁The ▁main ▁duty ▁of ▁a ▁her ald ic ▁device ▁is ▁to ▁be ▁recognized , ▁and ▁the ▁dark ▁colours ▁or ▁light ▁met als ▁are ▁supposed ▁to ▁be ▁too
▁difficult ▁to ▁distinguish ▁if ▁they ▁are ▁placed ▁on ▁top ▁of ▁other ▁dark ▁or ▁light ▁colours , ▁particularly ▁in ▁poor ▁light . ▁Though ▁this ▁is ▁the ▁practical ▁gen esis ▁of ▁the ▁rule , ▁the ▁rule ▁is ▁technical ▁and ▁appearance ▁is ▁not ▁used ▁in ▁determ ining ▁whether ▁arms ▁conform ▁to ▁the ▁rule . ▁Another ▁reason ▁sometimes ▁given ▁to ▁justify ▁this ▁rule ▁is ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁difficult ▁to ▁paint ▁with ▁en am el ▁( col our ) ▁over ▁en am el , ▁or ▁with ▁metal ▁over ▁metal . ▁ ▁This ▁" rule " ▁has ▁at ▁times ▁been ▁followed ▁so ▁ped ant ically ▁that ▁arms ▁that ▁viol ate ▁it ▁were ▁called ▁ar mes ▁f auss es ▁( false ▁arms ) ▁or ▁ar mes ▁à ▁enqu éri r ▁( ar ms ▁of ▁enqu iry ); ▁any ▁viol ation ▁was ▁pres umed ▁to ▁be ▁intent ional , ▁to ▁the ▁point ▁that ▁one ▁was ▁supposed ▁to ▁en quire ▁how ▁it ▁came ▁to ▁pass . ▁One ▁of ▁the ▁most ▁famous ▁ar mes ▁à ▁enqu éri r ▁( o ften ▁said ▁to ▁be ▁the ▁only ▁example ) ▁was ▁the ▁shield ▁of ▁the ▁Kingdom ▁of ▁Jerusalem , ▁which ▁had ▁gold ▁cross es ▁on ▁silver . ▁This ▁use ▁of ▁metal ▁on ▁metal , ▁that ▁is ▁to ▁say ▁white ▁and ▁gold ▁together , ▁is ▁seen ▁on ▁the ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁King ▁of ▁Jerusalem , ▁the ▁flag ▁and ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁V at ican , ▁and ▁the ▁bishop ' s ▁mit re ▁in ▁the ▁arms ▁of ▁And or ra . ▁It ▁indicates ▁the ▁exception al ▁holy
▁and ▁special ▁status ▁of ▁the ▁Co at ▁of ▁Ar ms . ▁An ▁example ▁of ▁" col our ▁on ▁colour " ▁is ▁the ▁arms ▁of ▁Alban ia , ▁with ▁its ▁s able ▁two - head ed ▁e agle ▁on ▁a ▁g ules ▁field . ▁ ▁The ▁" rule ▁of ▁t inct ure " ▁has ▁had ▁an ▁influence ▁reaching ▁far ▁beyond ▁her ald ry . ▁It ▁has ▁been ▁applied ▁to ▁the ▁design ▁of ▁flags , ▁so ▁that ▁the ▁flag ▁of ▁Sax e - We imar - E isen ach ▁was ▁modified ▁to ▁conform ▁to ▁the ▁rule . ▁ ▁C ounter ch anging ▁ ▁When ▁a ▁charge ▁or ▁group ▁of ▁charges ▁is ▁placed ▁across ▁a ▁division ▁line , ▁variation , ▁or ▁ordinary , ▁it ▁may ▁be ▁counter changed ▁( Fr . ▁, ▁but ▁modern ▁, ▁Ger . ▁ ▁or ▁), ▁meaning ▁that ▁the ▁charges ▁are ▁divided ▁the ▁same ▁way ▁as ▁the ▁field ▁upon ▁which ▁they ▁rest , ▁with ▁the ▁colours ▁revers ed . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁municipal ▁arms ▁of ▁Be h ns dorf , ▁Sax ony - An halt , ▁seen ▁below , ▁the ▁field ▁is ▁divided ▁with ▁the ▁left ▁half ▁white ▁( argent ) ▁and ▁the ▁right ▁half ▁green ▁( vert ), ▁and ▁the ▁counter changed ▁tree ▁is ▁green ▁where ▁it ▁lies ▁on ▁the ▁white ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁field , ▁and ▁white ▁where ▁it ▁lies ▁on ▁the ▁green ▁part . ▁ ▁The ▁flag ▁of ▁Maryland ▁is ▁another ▁example ▁of ▁counter ch anging . ▁ ▁The ▁only ▁U . S . ▁state ▁flag ▁to ▁be ▁directly
▁based ▁on ▁English ▁her ald ry , ▁it ▁is ▁the ▁arms ▁of ▁George ▁Cal vert , ▁ 1 st ▁Baron ▁Baltimore , ▁who ▁founded ▁the ▁col ony ▁of ▁Maryland ▁in ▁ 1 6 3 2 . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁and ▁ 4 th ▁qu arters , ▁the ▁field ▁is ▁divided ▁into ▁six ▁vertical ▁bands ▁of ▁gold ▁( or ) ▁and ▁black ▁( s able ) ▁with ▁a ▁diagonal ▁band ▁( a ▁b end ) ▁in ▁which ▁the ▁colours ▁are ▁revers ed ▁( i . e ., ▁the ▁b end ▁is ▁counter changed ). ▁ ▁The ▁ 2 nd ▁and ▁ 3 rd ▁qu arters ▁are ▁themselves ▁quarter ed ▁between ▁white ▁( argent ) ▁and ▁red ▁( g ules ) ▁with ▁a ▁counter changed ▁cross ▁bot ton y ▁that ▁is ▁red ▁where ▁it ▁lies ▁on ▁the ▁white ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁field ▁and ▁white ▁where ▁it ▁lies ▁on ▁the ▁red ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁field . ▁ ▁C ounter ch anging ▁is ▁rare ▁in ▁early ▁her ald ry ; ▁early ▁examples ▁from ▁German ▁her ald ry ▁are ▁found ▁in ▁the ▁late ▁fif teenth - century ▁W ern iger ode ▁Arm orial ; ▁it ▁becomes ▁more ▁frequently ▁applied ▁from ▁the ▁sevent e enth ▁century ▁on ward , ▁especially ▁with ▁the ▁substantial ▁number ▁of ▁newly - created ▁co ats ▁of ▁arms , ▁of ▁which ▁some ▁notable ▁examples ▁include ▁Baron ▁Baltimore ▁( 1 6 2 4 ), ▁Night ing ale ▁baron ets ▁( 1 6 2 8 ), ▁Bar rett - L enn ard ▁baron ets
▁( 1 8 0 1 ), ▁Ver ney ▁baron ets ▁( 1 8 1 8 ), ▁and ▁Baron ▁Al ving ham ▁( 1 9 2 9 ). ▁ ▁In ▁Scottish ▁her ald ry , ▁charges ▁are ▁sometimes ▁bla zon ed ▁as ▁counter changed ▁of ▁different ▁colours ▁from ▁the ▁field ; ▁for ▁instance , ▁per ▁f ess ▁g ules ▁and ▁azure , ▁a ▁sun ▁in ▁splend our ▁counter changed ▁or ▁and ▁of ▁the ▁first . ▁ ▁A ▁more ▁typical ▁bla zon ▁for ▁this ▁would ▁be ▁per ▁f ess ▁g ules ▁and ▁azure , ▁a ▁sun ▁in ▁splend our ▁per ▁f ess ▁or ▁and ▁of ▁the ▁first . ▁ ▁The ▁term ▁counter col oured ▁is ▁sometimes ▁used ▁in ▁place ▁of ▁counter changed . ▁ ▁The ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁Fen wick ▁baron ets ▁were ▁originally ▁bla zon ed ▁as ▁silver , ▁a ▁chief ▁g ules ▁with ▁six ▁mart lets ▁counter col oured . ▁ ▁In ▁this ▁case , ▁three ▁mart lets ▁argent ▁rest ▁on ▁a ▁chief ▁g ules , ▁while ▁three ▁mart lets ▁g ules ▁rest ▁on ▁the ▁argent ▁field . ▁ ▁Some ▁her ald ic ▁authorities ▁regard ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁this ▁term ▁as ▁err one ous . ▁ ▁Mon och rom atic ▁presentation ▁ ▁H atch ing ▁ ▁During ▁the ▁first ▁half ▁of ▁the ▁sevent e enth ▁century , ▁the ▁pro l ifer ation ▁of ▁the ▁printing ▁press ▁couple d ▁with ▁the ▁pers istence ▁of ▁difficulties ▁in ▁and ▁exp ense ▁of ▁colour ▁printing ▁prompt ed ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁systems ▁of ▁h atch
ing ▁for ▁the ▁purpose ▁of ▁dep ict ing ▁her ald ic ▁designs ▁without ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁colour . ▁ ▁Int ended ▁chief ly ▁for ▁printing ▁and ▁eng ra ving , ▁the ▁system ▁which ▁eventually ▁gained ▁w ides p read ▁accept ance ▁was ▁that ▁of ▁Sil vest ro ▁de ▁Pet ra ▁San ct a , ▁a ▁Jes uit ▁priest ▁and ▁her ald ic ▁scholar , ▁originally ▁published ▁in ▁ 1 6 3 8 . ▁ ▁In ▁Pet ra ▁San ct a ' s ▁method , ▁illustrated ▁in ▁the ▁table ▁above , ▁a ▁separate ▁h atch ing ▁represents ▁each ▁metal ▁and ▁colour , ▁while ▁the ▁f urs ▁are ▁treated ▁as ▁combinations ▁of ▁metal ▁and ▁colour . ▁ ▁Argent ▁is ▁represented ▁by ▁a ▁plain ▁field , ▁while ▁or ▁is ▁represented ▁by ▁a ▁field ▁stre wn ▁with ▁d ots . ▁ ▁G ules ▁is ▁represented ▁by ▁vertical ▁lines , ▁azure ▁by ▁horizontal ▁lines , ▁and ▁s able ▁by ▁a ▁combination ▁of ▁horizontal ▁and ▁vertical ▁lines . ▁ ▁Di ag onal ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁de xter ▁chief ▁to ▁sin ister ▁base ▁represent ▁vert , ▁while ▁pur p ure ▁is ▁the ▁reverse , ▁represented ▁by ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁sin ister ▁chief ▁to ▁de xter ▁base . ▁ ▁S angu ine ▁is ▁represented ▁by ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁in ▁each ▁direction , ▁while ▁t enn é ▁is ▁represented ▁by ▁a ▁combination ▁of ▁horizontal ▁lines ▁and ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁sin ister ▁chief ▁to ▁de xter ▁base . ▁ ▁N ine ▁additional ▁h atch ings , ▁published ▁by ▁Marcus ▁V ul
son ▁de ▁la ▁Colomb ière ▁in ▁ 1 6 3 9 , ▁were ▁intended ▁to ▁represent ▁other ▁colours , ▁although ▁none ▁of ▁them ▁correspond ▁with ▁regular ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ures , ▁and ▁they ▁have ▁never ▁been ▁used ▁in ▁British ▁arm ory . ▁ ▁A ▁combination ▁of ▁vertical ▁lines ▁with ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁de xter ▁chief ▁to ▁sin ister ▁base ▁represents ▁brown ; ▁blood ▁red ▁is ▁represented ▁by ▁vertical ▁lines ▁combined ▁with ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁sin ister ▁chief ▁to ▁de xter ▁base ; ▁earth - col our ▁by ▁horizontal ▁and ▁vertical ▁lines ▁combined ▁with ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁de xter ▁chief ▁to ▁sin ister ▁base ; ▁iron - gre y ▁by ▁diagonal ▁lines ▁running ▁in ▁each ▁direction ▁( the ▁same ▁as ▁s angu ine ▁in ▁Pet ra ▁San ct a ' s ▁system ); ▁water - col our ▁by ▁broken ▁horizontal ▁lines ; ▁flesh - col our ▁by ▁broken ▁vertical ▁lines ; ▁as hen - gre y ▁by ▁a ▁combination ▁of ▁broken ▁horizontal ▁and ▁broken ▁diagonal ▁lines ; ▁orange ▁by ▁broken ▁vertical ▁lines ▁inter sp ers ed ▁with ▁d ots ; ▁and ▁the ▁colour ▁of ▁nature ▁by ▁z ig - z ag ▁lines ▁running ▁from ▁de xter ▁chief ▁to ▁sin ister ▁base . ▁ ▁Tr ick ing ▁ ▁Before ▁the ▁use ▁of ▁h atch ing ▁to ▁dep ict ▁individual ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ures , ▁it ▁was ▁common ▁to ▁" tr ick " ▁her ald ic ▁designs ▁when ▁colours ▁were ▁un available . ▁ ▁The ▁arms ▁would ▁be ▁drawn
▁in ▁outline , ▁and ▁the ▁t inct ures ▁written ▁in ▁abbre vi ated ▁form : ▁O ▁or ▁or ▁for ▁or ; ▁A , ▁ar , ▁or ▁arg ▁for ▁argent , ▁G ▁or ▁gu ▁for ▁g ules ; ▁S ▁or ▁sa ▁for ▁s able ; ▁Az ▁or ▁B ▁for ▁azure ▁( B ▁for ▁" blue " ▁being ▁used ▁in ▁older ▁trick ings ▁to ▁avoid ▁confusion ▁between ▁ar ▁and ▁az ); ▁V t ▁for ▁vert , ▁Pur p ▁for ▁pur p ure , ▁and ▁Pr ▁for ▁proper . ▁ ▁Although ▁most ▁records ▁of ▁the ▁College ▁of ▁Ar ms ▁are ▁in ▁colour , ▁the ▁practice ▁of ▁trick ing ▁is ▁used ▁in ▁all ▁other ▁cases , ▁even ▁after ▁the ▁w ides p read ▁ad option ▁of ▁h atch ing ▁for ▁printing ▁and ▁eng ra ving ▁arms . ▁ ▁French ▁her ald ry ▁also ▁uses ▁trick ing ▁to ▁dep ict ▁her ald ic ▁t inct ures , ▁using ▁O ▁for ▁; ▁A ▁for ▁; ▁G ▁for ▁; ▁S ▁for ▁; ▁B ▁for ▁ ▁( to ▁avoid ▁confusing ▁ ▁with ▁); ▁ ▁V ▁for ▁ ▁( to ▁avoid ▁confusing ▁ ▁with ▁); ▁P ▁for ▁ ▁or ▁; ▁and ▁Pr ▁for ▁. ▁ ▁In ▁German ▁her ald ry , ▁G ▁is ▁used ▁for ▁ ▁( g old ); ▁W ▁for ▁ ▁( white ); ▁R ▁for ▁ ▁( red ); ▁S ▁for ▁ ▁( black ); ▁B ▁for ▁ ▁( blue ); ▁and ▁Gr , ▁or ▁a ▁shape ▁like ▁an ▁u pr ight ▁leaf , ▁for ▁ ▁( green );
▁German ▁her ald ry ▁makes ▁little ▁use ▁of ▁pur p ure , ▁but ▁in ▁its ▁place ▁allows ▁Br ▁for ▁ ▁( b rown ). ▁ ▁These ▁abbre vi ations ▁may ▁be ▁either ▁capital ized ▁or ▁lower case . ▁ ▁Po etic ▁representation ▁ ▁Her ald ry ▁has ▁been ▁influenced ▁by ▁alleg or ical ▁and ▁ast ro log ical ▁views , ▁including ▁the ▁idea ▁of ▁sympath ies ▁and ▁ant ip ath ies ▁among ▁stars , ▁min er als , ▁animals , ▁plants , ▁and ▁people . ▁Some ▁t inct ures ▁were ▁considered ▁to ▁represent ▁ast ro log ical ▁symbols . ▁ ▁The ▁l ore ▁of ▁sympath ies ▁origin ated ▁with ▁the ▁Bab yl oni ans , ▁who ▁saw ▁g ems ▁and ▁rare ▁min er als ▁as ▁the ▁concentr ates ▁of ▁cos mic ▁powers . ▁ ▁Later , ▁Pl iny ▁the ▁E lder ' s ▁Natural ▁History ▁organized ▁nature ▁according ▁to ▁a ▁system ▁of ▁sympath ies ▁and ▁ant ip ath ies ▁among ▁species ▁and ▁other ▁elements ▁of ▁the ▁natural ▁world . ▁This ▁doctrine ▁influenced ▁medieval ▁medicine , ▁ph arm acy , ▁al ch emy ▁and ▁also ▁her ald ry . ▁During ▁the ▁ 1 3 5 0 s , ▁the ▁work ▁of ▁Bart olo ▁de ▁S asso fer r ato ▁( 1 3 1 3 / 1 3 1 4 - 1 3 5 7 ) ▁linked ▁Or ▁to ▁the ▁sun , ▁Azure ▁to ▁the ▁element ▁air , ▁and ▁G ules ▁to ▁the ▁element ▁fire . ▁Honor é ▁Bon et , ▁a ▁her ald ist
▁from ▁Prov ence , ▁declared ▁in ▁his ▁work ▁Ar bre ▁des ▁B ata illes ▁( 1 3 8 7 ) ▁that ▁the ▁metal ▁gold ▁( Or ) ▁is ▁the ▁no bl est ▁in ▁the ▁world ▁because , ▁due ▁to ▁its ▁very ▁nature , ▁it ▁is ▁bright ▁and ▁sh ining ▁and ▁full ▁of ▁virt ues . ▁During ▁the ▁late ▁medieval ▁period ▁and ▁Renaissance , ▁there ▁was ▁an ▁occas ional ▁practice ▁of ▁bla zon ing ▁t inct ures ▁by ▁gem st ones , ▁or ▁by ▁references ▁to ▁the ▁seven ▁classical ▁" plan ets " ▁( including ▁the ▁sun ▁and ▁the ▁moon ). ▁ ▁The ▁work ▁of ▁Bon et ▁influenced ▁the ▁ 1 5 th ▁century ▁Burg und ian ▁her ald ist ▁Jean ▁Cour to is ▁( d . ▁ 1 4 3 6 ), ▁also ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁Sic ily ▁Her ald . ▁In ▁his ▁work ▁Le ▁Bl ason ▁des ▁Cou le urs ▁( 1 4 1 4 ), ▁Cour to is ▁developed ▁a ▁her ald ic ▁system ▁consisting ▁of ▁the ▁t inct ures , ▁plan ets ▁and ▁car b un cles , ▁together ▁with ▁the ▁virt ues , ▁met als , ▁months , ▁the ▁z od iac , ▁and ▁week days . ▁His ▁main ▁contribution ▁was ▁the ▁development ▁of ▁a ▁gem stone - plan et ary ▁bla zon ▁that ▁related ▁color ▁to ▁gem stone ▁to ▁planet : ▁or , ▁top az , ▁the ▁sun ; ▁argent , ▁p ear l , ▁the ▁moon ; ▁g ules , ▁ruby , ▁Mars ; ▁s able ,
▁diam ond , ▁Sat urn ; ▁azure , ▁sa pp hire , ▁Jup iter ; ▁vert , ▁emer ald , ▁Ven us ; ▁pur p ure , ▁am eth yst , ▁Mercur y ; ▁t enn é , ▁j ac inth , ▁drag on ' s ▁head ▁( asc ending ▁lun ar ▁node ); ▁s angu ine / m ur rey , ▁s ard ony x , ▁drag on ' s ▁tail ▁( desc ending ▁lun ar ▁node ). ▁ ▁The ▁drag on ' s ▁head ▁( also ▁called ▁An ab ib azon ▁in ▁astronom y ▁and ▁ast ro log y ) ▁and ▁drag on ' s ▁tail ▁( also ▁called ▁Cat ab ib azon ) ▁were ▁in ▁use ▁from ▁ancient ▁times . ▁In ▁her ald ry ▁the ▁drag on ' s ▁head ▁symbol izes ▁a ▁light ▁colour ▁( ten né ), ▁and ▁drag on ' s ▁tail ▁symbol izes ▁a ▁dark ▁colour ▁( s angu ine ). ▁In ▁al ch emy ▁the ▁drag on ' s ▁head ▁is ▁the ▁mater ia ▁prima ▁that ▁is ▁subject ed ▁to ▁trans mut ation ▁to ▁produce ▁the ▁phil os opher ' s ▁stone . ▁During ▁the ▁process ▁of ▁trans mut ation ▁the ▁light - color ed ▁starting ▁material ▁is ▁transformed ▁to ▁a ▁dark er ▁and ▁more ▁re dd ish ▁one . ▁In ▁ast ro log y ▁the ▁drag on ' s ▁head ▁is ▁connected ▁to ▁good ▁luck , ▁while ▁the ▁drag on ' s ▁tail ▁is ▁un l ucky . ▁These ▁links ▁indicate ▁that ▁her ald
ry ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 5 th ▁century ▁was ▁strongly ▁under ▁the ▁influence ▁of ▁mag ical ▁views ▁and ▁al chem istic ▁ideas , ▁which ▁were ▁in ▁turn ▁connected ▁to ▁the ▁l ore ▁of ▁sympath ies ▁between ▁colors , ▁plan ets , ▁gem st ones , ▁met als , ▁virt ues ▁etc . ▁▁ ▁The ▁work ▁of ▁Jean ▁Cour to is ▁was ▁distributed ▁in ▁manuscript s ▁and ▁later ▁in ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁books ▁printed ▁in ▁French . ▁During ▁the ▁T ud or ▁and ▁Stuart ▁dynast ies ▁in ▁England ▁( 1 4 8 5 – 1 7 0 2 ), ▁it ▁appeared ▁in ▁her ald ry ▁manual s . ▁In ▁his ▁book ▁Tra ité ▁du ▁bl ason ▁( 1 4 6 5 ), ▁Cl ément ▁Pr ins ault ▁de als ▁with ▁the ▁relation ▁of ▁colors ▁to ▁the ▁virt ues , ▁the ▁seven ▁plan ets , ▁the ▁ 1 2 ▁cel est ial ▁signs , ▁gem st ones , ▁week days , ▁the ▁three ▁elements ▁etc . ▁This ▁book ▁is ▁among ▁the ▁earliest ▁writ ings ▁on ▁her ald ry ▁available ▁today . ▁ ▁The ▁English ▁historian ▁and ▁her ald ist ▁Sir ▁Henry ▁Sp el man ▁( 1 5 6 4 – 1 6 4 1 ) ▁used ▁the ▁symbols ▁of ▁the ▁plan ets ▁to ▁design ate ▁t inct ures ▁in ▁his ▁ 1 6 5 4 ▁book ▁Asp ilog ia . ▁Sir ▁John ▁Fer ne ▁( d . ▁ 1 6 0 9 ) ▁enumer ates ▁ 1 4 ▁different ▁methods ▁of ▁bla zon :
▁ 1 . ▁by ▁colors ; ▁▁ 2 . ▁by ▁plan ets ; ▁▁ 3 . ▁by ▁pre cious ▁stones ; ▁▁ 4 . ▁by ▁virt ues ; ▁▁ 5 . ▁by ▁cel est ial ▁signs ; ▁▁ 6 . ▁by ▁the ▁months ▁of ▁the ▁ye a ; ▁▁ 7 . ▁by ▁the ▁days ▁of ▁the ▁week ; ▁ 8 . ▁by ▁the ▁ages ▁of ▁man ; ▁ 9 . ▁by ▁flowers ; ▁ 1 0 . ▁by ▁the ▁elements ; ▁ 1 1 . ▁by ▁the ▁seasons ▁of ▁the ▁year ; ▁ 1 2 . ▁by ▁the ▁complex ions ▁of ▁man ; ▁ 1 3 . ▁by ▁numbers ; ▁and ▁ 1 4 . ▁by ▁met als . ▁▁ ▁As ▁well ▁as ▁the ▁main ▁t inct ures , ▁trick ing ▁abbre vi ations ▁for ▁other ▁t inct ures ▁such ▁as ▁Pro per ▁– ▁p pr , ▁pp , ▁Er mine ▁– ▁er ▁etc . ▁existed ▁in ▁English ▁and ▁some ▁other ▁languages ▁during ▁the ▁Renaissance . ▁To ▁design ate ▁car n ation ▁( car nea ▁t inct ura ), ▁the ▁z od iac ▁sign ▁of ▁Leo ▁was ▁used ▁in ▁reverse ▁( ). ▁German ▁her ald ry ▁used ▁t ref o il ▁to ▁design ate ▁colors ▁other ▁than ▁the ▁seven ▁main ▁t inct ures ▁(" "). ▁Sp ener ▁( 1 7 1 7 . ▁p .   1 1 3 ) ▁also ▁linked ▁t enn é ▁and ▁s angu ine ▁to ▁the ▁z od iac ▁sign ▁of ▁Leo ▁() ▁. ▁Rud ol phi ▁also
▁refers ▁to ▁t ref o il ▁( ♣ ) ▁as ▁a ▁design ation ▁of ▁colour ▁vert , ▁usually ▁connected ▁with ▁Ven us . ▁He ▁also ▁assigned ▁specific ▁variants ▁of ▁ast ro log ical ▁signs ▁for ▁drag on ' s ▁head ▁and ▁drag on ' s ▁tail ▁( <0xE2> <0x98> <0x8A>   <0xE2> <0x98> <0x8B> ), ▁derived ▁from ▁the ▁sign ▁for ▁Leo , ▁to ▁the ▁t inct ures ▁orange ▁and ▁car n ation , ▁respectively . ▁ ▁Ult imately , ▁a ▁system ▁of ▁nine ▁t inct ures ▁was ▁developed , ▁with ▁du kes , ▁ ▁ear ls , ▁and ▁bar ons ▁having ▁their ▁arms ▁bla zon ed ▁by ▁gem st ones , ▁and ▁princes , ▁k ings ▁and ▁em per ors ▁having ▁arms ▁bla zon ed ▁by ▁the ▁plan ets . ▁It ▁is ▁worth ▁not ing ▁that ▁the ▁Aust rian ▁trou bad our ▁and ▁her ald ▁Peter ▁Such en w irt ▁( c . ▁ 1 3 2 0 - 1 3 9 5 ) ▁used ▁gem st ones ▁to ▁design ate ▁the ▁t inct ures ▁even ▁earlier ▁( c . ▁ 1 3 5 5 ) ▁in ▁the ▁coat ▁of ▁arms ▁of ▁the ▁Hung arian ▁king ▁Louis ▁the ▁Great ▁( 1 3 4 2 – 1 3 8 2 ). ▁ ▁Kon rad ▁von ▁Wür zburg ▁( c . ▁ 1 2 3 0 ▁- 1 2 8 7 ) ▁also ▁mentioned ▁co ats ▁of ▁arms ▁made ▁of ▁gem st ones ▁in ▁his ▁poem ▁Turn ier ▁von ▁N ant he iz ▁( c

▁an ▁ang led ▁bo om ▁and ▁then ▁to ▁the ▁far ▁side ▁of ▁a ▁setting . ▁ ▁By ▁using ▁two ▁c ables ▁set ▁up ▁like ▁a ▁clothes ▁line , ▁the ▁rig ging ▁can ▁be ▁pulled ▁out ▁and ▁logs ▁can ▁be ▁pulled ▁across ▁a ▁logging ▁setting ▁where ▁the ▁trees ▁have ▁been ▁previously ▁fel led . ▁ ▁This ▁machine ▁is ▁most ▁suitable ▁for ▁ste ep ▁ground ▁where ▁it ▁is ▁difficult ▁to ▁access ▁the ▁logs ▁with ▁other ▁mach in ery . ▁ ▁Sw ing ▁yard ers ▁can ▁also ▁be ▁used ▁in ▁fl atter ▁areas ▁with ▁l ighter ▁loads . ▁ ▁While ▁there ▁are ▁various ▁rig ging ▁options , ▁the ▁most ▁common ▁one ▁uses ▁a ▁gra pp le ▁that ▁can ▁be ▁lower ed ▁onto ▁a ▁logs ▁and ▁closed ▁via ▁the ▁cable ▁system . ▁ ▁Using ▁a ▁gra pp le ▁avoid s ▁the ▁need ▁for ▁people ▁in ▁the ▁setting ▁to ▁attach ▁ch ok ers ▁to ▁the ▁log . ▁ ▁Ch oker ▁setting ▁as ▁a ▁profession ▁is ▁a ▁very ▁dangerous ▁occupation . ▁ ▁The ▁main ▁difference ▁between ▁a ▁swing ▁yard er ▁and ▁a ▁tower ▁yard er ▁is ▁that ▁the ▁upper works ▁is ▁mounted ▁on ▁a ▁large ▁sle wing ▁bearing . ▁ ▁This ▁bearing ▁perm its ▁the ▁bo om ▁and ▁cable ▁system ▁to ▁be ▁' sw ung ' ▁across ▁a ▁setting ▁without ▁re loc ating ▁the ▁machine . ▁ ▁An ▁experienced ▁operator ▁uses ▁timing ▁and ▁cable ▁t ension ▁to ▁swing ▁the ▁gra pp le ▁to ▁the ▁desired ▁location . ▁▁ ▁In ▁practice , ▁however , ▁the ▁main ▁benefit ▁of ▁a ▁swing
ing ▁machine ▁is ▁that ▁once ▁the ▁logs ▁are ▁y arded ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁machine , ▁they ▁can ▁be ▁sw ung ▁to ▁the ▁side ▁and ▁land ed . ▁▁ ▁This ▁allows ▁the ▁machine ▁to ▁be ▁position ed ▁in ▁a ▁small ▁area ▁such ▁as ▁on ▁a ▁road , ▁and ▁to ▁land ▁( set ▁down ) ▁the ▁logs ▁on ▁the ▁road ▁behind ▁( or ▁in ▁front ▁of ) ▁the ▁machine . ▁ ▁By ▁contrast ▁a ▁tower ▁has ▁no ▁options ▁on ▁where ▁to ▁set ▁the ▁logs --- so ▁the ▁tower ▁has ▁to ▁be ▁position ed ▁back ▁from ▁the ▁break ▁of ▁the ▁hill ▁so ▁as ▁to ▁leave ▁a ▁landing ▁area ▁on ▁the ▁down hill ▁side ▁of ▁the ▁machine , ▁the ▁logs ▁can ▁only ▁be ▁pulled ▁up ▁to ▁near ▁the ▁tower ▁and ▁then ▁lower ed ▁to ▁the ▁ground ▁making ▁it ▁necessary ▁for ▁a ▁sh ov el ▁( log ▁loader ) ▁to ▁also ▁be ▁present ▁to ▁remove ▁the ▁logs ▁once ▁land ed . ▁▁ ▁Imp licit ly ▁a ▁swing ▁machine ▁does ▁not ▁need ▁to ▁be ▁as ▁tall ▁as ▁a ▁tower ▁machine ▁particularly ▁in ▁ste ep ▁ground ▁because ▁the ▁swing ▁machine ▁can ▁be ▁set ▁right ▁up ▁to ▁the ▁' edge ' ▁of ▁the ▁ste ep ▁ground ▁while ▁the ▁tower ▁must ▁be ▁set ▁back ▁from ▁the ▁' edge ' ▁to ▁allow ▁landing ▁space . ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁ ▁Washington ▁T L - 6 ▁Sw ing ▁yard er ▁ ▁Category : Log ▁transport ▁Category : For est ry ▁equipment <0x0A> </s> ▁Ber cz ik ▁Á rp ád ▁ ▁( J uly ▁ 8

▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁as ▁an ▁inf antry ▁regiment ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Army ▁dates ▁from ▁the ▁Regiment ' s ▁formation ▁in ▁ 1 9 0 0 . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁have ▁an ▁over ▁one ▁hundred ▁year - long ▁history ▁during ▁which ▁the ▁regiment ▁have ▁served ▁with ▁distinction ▁in ▁almost ▁all ▁of ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ' s ▁ ▁conflicts ▁throughout ▁the ▁ 2 0 th ▁and ▁early ▁ 2 1 st ▁centuries ▁r anging ▁from ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁to ▁the ▁War ▁in ▁Afghan istan . ▁ ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁formed ▁by ▁Queen ▁Victoria ▁in ▁ 1 9 0 0 ▁to ▁honour ▁the ▁Irish men ▁who ▁had ▁fought ▁in ▁the ▁Second ▁Bo er ▁War . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁first ▁saw ▁combat ▁as ▁a ▁regiment ▁in ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁during ▁which ▁they ▁fought ▁on ▁the ▁Western ▁Front ▁from ▁the ▁beginning ▁to ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁war . ▁The ▁regiment ▁played ▁a ▁significant ▁role ▁in ▁many ▁of ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ' s ▁p iv otal ▁batt les ▁such ▁as ▁the ▁First ▁Battle ▁of ▁Y pres , ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Lo os ▁and ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁the ▁Som me . ▁By ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁war , ▁the ▁regiment ▁had ▁experienced ▁significant ▁losses ▁and ▁won ▁four ▁Victoria ▁Cross es , ▁two ▁of ▁them ▁post hum ous . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁to ▁experience ▁similar ▁fighting ▁just ▁twenty ▁one ▁years ▁later ▁with ▁the ▁comm enc ement ▁of ▁the ▁Second ▁World ▁War . ▁The ▁regiment ▁won ▁two ▁further ▁Victoria ▁Cross es
▁and ▁saw ▁action ▁during ▁the ▁Norwegian ▁Camp aign , ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁France , ▁the ▁Tun is ian ▁Camp aign , ▁the ▁Italian ▁Camp aign , ▁Operation ▁Over l ord ▁and ▁Operation ▁Market ▁Garden . ▁Following ▁the ▁conclusion ▁of ▁the ▁Second ▁World ▁War , ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁involved ▁in ▁several ▁conflicts ▁ar ising ▁from ▁the ▁decl ine ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Empire , ▁including ▁the ▁Jewish ▁ins ur gency ▁in ▁Mand atory ▁Palest ine , ▁against ▁the ▁E OK A ▁group ▁in ▁Cy pr us ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁A den ▁Emer gency . ▁Mov ing ▁into ▁the ▁ 2 1 st ▁Century , ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁served ▁in ▁the ▁B alk ans ▁Conf lic ts , ▁the ▁Ira q ▁War ▁and ▁the ▁War ▁in ▁Afghan istan . ▁ ▁Cre ation ▁ ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁formed ▁on ▁ 1 ▁April ▁ 1 9 0 0 ▁by ▁order ▁of ▁Queen ▁Victoria ▁to ▁comm emor ate ▁the ▁Irish ▁people ▁who ▁fought ▁in ▁the ▁Second ▁Bo er ▁War ▁for ▁the ▁British ▁Empire . ▁This ▁followed ▁an ▁initial ▁suggestion ▁from ▁the ▁Irish - born ▁British ▁Army ▁officer ▁Field ▁Marsh al ▁Vis count ▁Wol se ley ▁to ▁allow ▁soldiers ▁in ▁Irish ▁Reg iments ▁to ▁wear ▁the ▁sh am rock ▁in ▁their ▁he address ▁on ▁St . ▁Patrick ' s ▁Day . ▁This ▁developed ▁into ▁a ▁suggestion ▁that ▁an ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁regiment ▁should ▁be ▁created . ▁ ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ' ▁first ▁honor ary ▁Colonel - of - the - Reg iment ▁was ▁Field
▁Marsh al ▁Lord ▁Roberts , ▁known ▁to ▁many ▁troops ▁as ▁" B obs ". ▁Because ▁of ▁this , ▁the ▁regiment ▁gained ▁the ▁nick name ▁" Bob ' s ▁O wn " ▁but ▁are ▁now ▁known ▁affection ately ▁as ▁" The ▁M icks " ▁( although ▁a ▁generally ▁der og atory ▁term ▁if ▁used ▁in ▁society , ▁this ▁term ▁is ▁not ▁seen ▁as ▁off ensive ▁or ▁der og atory ▁by ▁the ▁regiment .) ▁ ▁Roberts , ▁as ▁the ▁new ▁Commander - in - Ch ief ▁in ▁the ▁Second ▁Bo er ▁War , ▁was ▁too ▁busy ▁at ▁the ▁time ▁to ▁take ▁over ▁a ▁new ▁regiment , ▁but ▁he ▁was ▁appointed ▁a ▁Colonel ▁of ▁the ▁regiment ▁on ▁ 1 7 ▁October ▁ 1 9 0 0 . ▁Major ▁Richard ▁Josh ua ▁Cooper , ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion , ▁Gren ad ier ▁Gu ards , ▁was ▁appointed ▁the ▁first ▁Command ing ▁Officer ▁on ▁ 2 ▁May ▁ 1 9 0 0 ▁and ▁ 2 0 0 ▁Irish men ▁from ▁the ▁same ▁regiment ▁were ▁transferred ▁as ▁the ▁nucle us ▁of ▁the ▁new ▁regiment . ▁Selected ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁line ▁inf antry ▁reg iments ▁were ▁chosen ▁to ▁fill ▁out ▁the ▁ranks ▁of ▁the ▁new ▁regiment . ▁ ▁The ▁regiment ' s ▁first ▁Col ours ▁were ▁presented ▁by ▁King ▁Edward ▁VII ▁to ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion ▁on ▁ 3 0 ▁May ▁ 1 9 0 2 ▁at ▁Hor se ▁Gu ards ▁Par ade . ▁ ▁A ▁few ▁Irish ▁Gu ards men ▁saw ▁action ▁as ▁mounted ▁inf antry
▁in ▁the ▁final ▁stages ▁of ▁the ▁Bo er ▁War . ▁Otherwise , ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁station ed ▁in ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁four teen ▁years ▁of ▁its ▁existence , ▁performing ▁cer emon ial ▁duties ▁in ▁London ▁during ▁that ▁time ▁until ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁World ▁War ▁I . ▁ ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁▁ 1 9 1 4 - 1 9 1 5 : ▁Out break ▁of ▁War ▁and ▁the ▁first ▁batt les ▁on ▁the ▁Western ▁Front ▁ ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁deployed ▁to ▁France , ▁eight ▁days ▁after ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁had ▁declared ▁war ▁upon ▁the ▁German ▁Empire , ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁ 4 th ▁( Gu ards ) ▁Brigade ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Division , ▁and ▁would ▁remain ▁on ▁the ▁Western ▁Front ▁for ▁the ▁duration ▁of ▁the ▁war . ▁ ▁The ▁batt alion ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁M ons ▁and ▁the ▁subsequent ▁ar du ous ▁and ▁blo ody ▁Great ▁Ret re at . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁re arg u ard ▁during ▁the ▁retre at ▁and ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁a ▁small - scale ▁action ▁at ▁Land re cies ▁against ▁the ▁adv ancing ▁Germ ans . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁also ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁another ▁re arg u ard ▁action ▁at ▁the ▁woods ▁near ▁Vill ers - C ot ter ets , ▁on ▁ 1 ▁September , ▁during ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Le ▁C ate au ▁in ▁which ▁their ▁Command ing ▁Officer , ▁Lieutenant - Col
onel ▁the ▁Hon . ▁George ▁Morris ▁and ▁the ▁Second - in - Command ▁Major ▁Hub ert ▁Cr icht on ▁were ▁killed . ▁Le ▁C ate au ▁was ▁a ▁successful ▁action ▁that ▁inf lic ted ▁very ▁heavy ▁losses ▁on ▁the ▁Germ ans ▁and ▁helped ▁delay ▁their ▁advance ▁towards ▁Paris . ▁ ▁In ▁August ▁that ▁year , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁( Res erve ) ▁Battalion ▁was ▁raised ▁at ▁War ley ▁Bar ra cks ▁to ▁serve ▁as ▁a ▁training ▁batt alion ▁for ▁the ▁men ▁needed ▁to ▁replace ▁losses ▁sust ained ▁by ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion ▁in ▁France . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁later ▁in ▁September ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁First ▁Battle ▁of ▁the ▁Mar ne ▁and ▁the ▁advance ▁towards ▁the ▁A is ne . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁having ▁lost ▁their ▁Command ing ▁Officer ▁only ▁a ▁few ▁weeks ▁after ▁they ▁had ▁reached ▁France , ▁would ▁take ▁part ▁in ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁blood iest ▁batt les ▁of ▁ 1 9 1 4 , ▁the ▁First ▁Battle ▁of ▁Y pres , ▁which ▁began ▁on ▁ 1 9 ▁October . ▁The ▁battle ▁caused ▁major ▁cas ual ties ▁among ▁the ▁old ▁Reg ular ▁Army . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion ▁was ▁involved ▁in ▁fighting ▁for ▁the ▁duration ▁of ▁the ▁battle , ▁taking ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁major ▁actions , ▁at ▁Lang em ar ck , ▁G hel u vel t ▁and ▁N onne ▁Bos schen . ▁ ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion ▁suffered ▁huge ▁cas ual ties ▁between ▁November ▁ 1 – 8 ▁holding ▁the
▁line ▁against ▁near ▁defeat ▁by ▁German ▁forces , ▁while ▁def ending ▁Klein ▁Z ille be ke , ▁with ▁No . ▁ 3 ▁Company ▁suffering ▁severe ▁cas ual ties ▁on ▁November ▁ 1 ▁and ▁No . ▁ 1 ▁Company ▁being ▁caught ▁in ▁the ▁open ▁after ▁a ▁French ▁retre at ▁on ▁November ▁ 6 ▁exposed ▁their ▁fl ank , ▁ens uring ▁that ▁at ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁day ▁" the ▁greater ▁part ▁of ▁them ▁were ▁missing ". ▁By ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁First ▁Battle ▁of ▁Y pres ▁on ▁the ▁ 2 2 ▁November , ▁the ▁batt alion ▁had ▁suffered ▁over ▁ 7 0 0 ▁cas ual ties ▁and ▁could ▁only ▁field ▁two ▁companies ▁from ▁the ▁surv iv ors . ▁The ▁ 2 nd ▁Division , ▁of ▁which ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁part ▁of , ▁suffered ▁ 5 , 7 6 9 ▁officers ▁and ▁men ▁killed , ▁wounded ▁or ▁missing ▁in ▁action . ▁The ▁original ▁batt alion ▁of ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁which ▁had ▁arrived ▁in ▁France ▁bare ly ▁two ▁months ▁before ▁had ▁been ▁pract ically ▁w ip ed ▁out ▁and ▁had ▁to ▁be ▁re construct ed ▁with ▁new ▁arrival s . ▁The ▁rest ▁of ▁ 1 9 1 4 ▁and ▁early ▁ 1 9 1 5 ▁was ▁spent ▁in ▁the ▁tren ches ▁with ▁little ▁action , ▁although ▁the ▁soldiers ▁were ▁at ▁risk ▁from ▁sn ip ers ▁and ▁shell s . ▁ ▁In ▁February ▁ 1 9 1 5 , ▁L ance - Cor por al ▁Michael ▁O ' Le ary
▁performed ▁an ▁act ▁of ▁bra very ▁at ▁Cu inch y , ▁where ▁attack ▁and ▁counter - att ack ▁had ▁been ▁taking ▁place ▁between ▁the ▁British ▁and ▁Germ ans ▁since ▁ 2 9 ▁January ▁until ▁early ▁February . ▁On ▁ 1 ▁February , ▁O ' Le ary ▁was ▁part ▁of ▁a ▁storm ing ▁party ▁which ▁attacked ▁an ▁enemy ▁bar rica de , ▁during ▁the ▁attack ▁the ▁party ▁suffered ▁cas ual ties ▁and ▁a ▁group ▁of ▁the ▁storm ing ▁party ▁then ▁were ▁hit ▁by ▁their ▁own ▁art illery ▁bomb ard ment . ▁O ' Le ary ▁r ushed ▁forward , ▁shooting ▁five ▁Germ ans ▁before ▁attack ing ▁a ▁further ▁three ▁in ▁a ▁machine - gun ▁position ▁at ▁the ▁next ▁bar rica de , ▁capt uring ▁two ▁Germ ans ▁in ▁the ▁process . ▁The ▁tren ch ▁and ▁many ▁prisoners ▁were ▁taken ▁thanks ▁to ▁the ▁actions ▁of ▁O ' Le ary . ▁He ▁was ▁awarded ▁the ▁Victoria ▁Cross , ▁the ▁first ▁V C ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁won ▁in ▁the ▁war . ▁ ▁In ▁May ▁ 1 9 1 5 , ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Fest ub ert , ▁though ▁did ▁not ▁see ▁much ▁action . ▁In ▁July ▁ 1 9 1 5 , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁( Res erve ) ▁Battalion ▁was ▁red es ign ated ▁the ▁ 3 rd ▁( Res erve ) ▁Battalion , ▁and ▁another ▁batt alion , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Battalion ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁formed ▁at ▁War ley ▁Bar ra
cks . ▁In ▁August ▁that ▁year ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁ 4 th ▁( Gu ards ) ▁Brigade , ▁was ▁moved ▁to ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Division . ▁The ▁brig ade ▁was ▁red es ign ated ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Gu ards ▁Brigade . ▁August ▁ 1 9 1 5 ▁also ▁saw ▁the ▁arrival ▁to ▁France ▁of ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁who ▁were ▁subsequently ▁attached ▁to ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Gu ards ▁Brigade . ▁In ▁September ▁that ▁year , ▁both ▁batt al ions ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁fought ▁together ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁time ▁in ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Lo os , ▁which ▁last ed ▁from ▁ 2 5 ▁September ▁until ▁early ▁October . ▁▁ 1 9 1 6 - 1 7 : ▁The ▁Battle ▁of ▁the ▁Som me ▁and ▁Pass ch end ae le ▁ ▁Both ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁and ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁spent ▁much ▁of ▁the ▁remainder ▁of ▁ 1 9 1 5 ▁and ▁early ▁ 1 9 1 6 ▁in ▁the ▁tren ches ▁until ▁ 1 ▁July ▁ 1 9 1 6 ▁when ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁the ▁Som me ▁began , ▁which ▁was , ▁and ▁still ▁is , ▁the ▁blood iest ▁day ▁in ▁the ▁history ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Army , ▁but ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁sp ared ▁the ▁day ' s ▁blood sh ed ▁as ▁they ▁were ▁held ▁in ▁reserve . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁soon ▁called ▁into
▁the ▁f ray ▁at ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Fl ers – C ource lette ▁where ▁they ▁suffered ▁severe ▁cas ual ties ▁in ▁the ▁attack ▁in ▁the ▁face ▁of ▁with ering ▁fire ▁from ▁the ▁German ▁machine - g uns . ▁The ▁batt alion ▁then ▁went ▁on ▁to ▁take ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Mor val . ▁They ▁were ▁involved ▁in ▁the ▁capture ▁of ▁the ▁northern ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁village ▁on ▁ 2 5 ▁September ▁and ▁were ▁rel ieved ▁the ▁following ▁day ▁by ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁suffered ▁quite ▁heavily ▁during ▁the ▁Mor val ▁eng agement ▁with ▁over ▁ 2 5 0 ▁cas ual ties . ▁The ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁fought ▁until ▁ 2 8 ▁September ▁when ▁they ▁too ▁were ▁rel ieved ▁and ▁entered ▁into ▁a ▁period ▁of ▁rest ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁Guard ' s ▁Division . ▁ ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁had ▁been ▁brought ▁back ▁up ▁to ▁strength ▁sufficiently ▁during ▁their ▁rest ▁period ▁so ▁that ▁by ▁the ▁summer ▁of ▁ 1 9 1 7 ▁they ▁would ▁once ▁again ▁be ▁called ▁on ▁to ▁front ▁a ▁major ▁British ▁off ensive ▁with ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Pass ch end ae le . ▁The ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁the ▁first ▁to ▁enter ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Pil ck em ▁which ▁began ▁on ▁ 3 1 ▁July ▁and ▁despite ▁taking ▁heavy ▁cas ual ties , ▁including ▁their ▁Command ing ▁Officer , ▁achieved ▁their ▁object ives ▁in ▁the ▁face ▁of
▁heavy ▁German ▁resistance . ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁spent ▁the ▁first ▁day ▁of ▁the ▁off ensive ▁in ▁reserve ▁before ▁joining ▁their ▁sister ▁batt alion ▁on ▁ 1 ▁September . ▁Further ▁actions ▁took ▁place ▁for ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁at ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁the ▁Men in ▁Road ▁R idge , ▁where ▁they ▁beat ▁off ▁several ▁German ▁counter att acks , ▁and ▁at ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Po el cap elle , ▁during ▁which ▁the ▁batt alion ▁lost ▁every ▁one ▁of ▁its ▁company ▁command ers ▁although ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁suffered ▁few ▁cas ual ties . ▁ ▁In ▁a ▁test ament ▁to ▁the ▁fer ocity ▁of ▁fighting ▁that ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁faced ▁at ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Pass ch end ae le , ▁an ▁action ▁took ▁place ▁on ▁ 1 2 ▁September ▁that ▁would ▁see ▁two ▁members ▁of ▁the ▁regiment ▁win ▁the ▁Victoria ▁Cross . ▁L ance - Ser ge ant ▁John ▁Mo y ney ▁and ▁Private ▁Thomas ▁Wood cock ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁were ▁part ▁of ▁an ▁advance ▁post ▁that ▁became ▁surrounded ▁by ▁Germ ans . ▁During ▁the ▁defence , ▁the ▁L ance - Ser ge ant ▁attacked ▁the ▁adv ancing ▁Germ ans ▁with ▁gr en ades ▁and ▁with ▁his ▁le w is ▁gun . ▁He , ▁and ▁his ▁men , ▁then ▁charged ▁the ▁Germ ans , ▁breaking ▁through ▁them ▁and ▁reaching ▁a ▁stream ▁where ▁he ▁and ▁Private ▁Wood cock ▁formed ▁a ▁re arg u ard ▁while ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the
▁party ▁with d rew . ▁They ▁subsequently ▁began ▁to ▁withdraw , ▁crossing ▁the ▁stream , ▁but ▁Private ▁Wood cock ▁heard ▁c ries ▁for ▁help ▁and ▁he ▁returned , ▁retr ieving ▁the ▁wounded ▁man ▁and ▁carrying ▁him ▁back ▁to ▁British ▁lines ▁under ▁machine - gun ▁fire . ▁They ▁had ▁held ▁out ▁for ▁nin ety - six ▁hours . ▁ ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Camb rai , ▁the ▁first ▁large ▁use ▁of ▁the ▁tank ▁in ▁battle ▁took ▁place ▁during ▁the ▁eng agement . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁initially ▁enjoyed ▁a ▁quite ▁sector ▁for ▁the ▁opening ▁of ▁the ▁battle ▁until ▁ 3 0 ▁November ▁when ▁they ▁suffered ▁heavy ▁cas ual ties ▁fighting ▁through ▁the ▁streets ▁of ▁the ▁village ▁of ▁G ou ze auc ourt . ▁The ▁Gu ards ▁Division , ▁and ▁with ▁it ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁and ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁were ▁pulled ▁off ▁the ▁line ▁on ▁ 6 ▁December ▁for ▁a ▁rest ▁period , ▁having ▁fought ▁almost ▁continu ously ▁since ▁the ▁start ▁of ▁August . ▁▁ 1 9 1 8 : ▁Final ▁victory ▁and ▁the ▁ending ▁of ▁the ▁War ▁ ▁The ▁regiment ▁enjoyed ▁the ▁relative ▁resp ite ▁provided ▁by ▁the ▁st alem ate ▁that ▁the ▁Western ▁Front ▁experienced ▁in ▁early ▁ 1 9 1 8 . ▁This ▁resp ite , ▁however , ▁was ▁going ▁to ▁be ▁short ▁lived ▁with ▁a ▁major ▁German ▁off ensive ▁expected . ▁This ▁great ▁German ▁off ensive , ▁term ed ▁the ▁Spring ▁Off ensive , ▁began ▁on ▁
2 1 ▁March ▁ 1 9 1 8 ▁with ▁the ▁launch ing ▁of ▁Operation ▁Michael . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁ordered ▁to ▁join ▁the ▁fight ▁on ▁the ▁night ▁of ▁ 2 1 ▁March ▁once ▁the ▁British ▁real ised ▁how ▁serious ▁the ▁situation ▁had ▁become ▁and ▁the ▁batt alion ▁found ▁themselves ▁forming ▁the ▁re arg u ard ▁for ▁a ▁retre ating ▁army ▁on ▁the ▁def ensive ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁time ▁since ▁the ▁opening ▁stages ▁of ▁the ▁war ▁four ▁years ▁previously . ▁The ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁who ▁had ▁been ▁in ▁reserve ▁to ▁meet ▁the ▁expected ▁German ▁off ensive , ▁were ▁ordered ▁to ▁create ▁a ▁def ensive ▁line ▁east ▁of ▁Bo is le ux - Saint - M arc ▁in ▁an ▁attempt ▁to ▁stem ▁the ▁German ▁advance . ▁The ▁men ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁would ▁continue ▁a ▁fighting ▁withdraw al ▁for ▁ten ▁days ▁until , ▁finally , ▁the ▁German ▁off ensive ▁ran ▁out ▁of ▁momentum ▁and ▁the ▁batt alion ▁were ▁rel ieved ▁from ▁the ▁line ▁on ▁ 3 1 ▁March . ▁The ▁failed ▁German ▁off ensive ▁marked ▁the ▁beginning ▁of ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁war ▁but ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁would ▁fight ▁in ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁engag ements ▁before ▁its ▁finish , ▁including ▁at ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Ar ras ▁and ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Albert . ▁The ▁regiment ▁also ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁batt les ▁during ▁the ▁British ▁off ens ives ▁against ▁the ▁H inden burg ▁Line . ▁ ▁On ▁ 4 ▁November
▁ 1 9 1 8 ▁at ▁the ▁Sam bre - O ise ▁Canal , ▁Act ing ▁Lieutenant ▁Colonel ▁James ▁Marshall ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁but ▁attached ▁to ▁the ▁ 1 6 th ▁( Service ) ▁Battalion , ▁Lanc ash ire ▁F us ili ers , ▁organ ised ▁repair ▁parties ▁who ▁were ▁trying ▁to ▁repair ▁a ▁dam aged ▁partly ▁finished ▁bridge . ▁The ▁first ▁party ▁soon ▁came ▁under ▁fire ▁and ▁all ▁were ▁killed ▁or ▁wounded . ▁Marshall , ▁dis reg arding ▁his ▁own ▁safety , ▁stood ▁on ▁the ▁bank , ▁encourag ing ▁and ▁helping ▁the ▁men ▁as ▁they ▁worked ▁on ▁the ▁bridge . ▁Once ▁it ▁was ▁rep a ired , ▁he ▁began ▁to ▁lead ▁his ▁men ▁across ▁the ▁bridge ▁but ▁was ▁shot ▁and ▁killed . ▁He ▁was ▁awarded ▁the ▁post hum ous ▁Victoria ▁Cross , ▁the ▁fourth ▁and ▁final ▁to ▁be ▁earned ▁by ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁during ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War . ▁ ▁Through out ▁October ▁and ▁early ▁November , ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁took ▁place ▁in ▁the ▁last ▁adv ances ▁on ▁the ▁Western ▁Front ▁against ▁the ▁cr umb ling ▁German ▁Army . ▁On ▁ 1 1 ▁November ▁ 1 9 1 8 ▁the ▁Arm ist ice ▁with ▁Germany ▁was ▁signed . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁at ▁Ma ube uge ▁when ▁the ▁Arm ist ice ▁was ▁signed , ▁which ▁was ▁near ▁to ▁where ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁began ▁their ▁war ▁in ▁ 1 9 1 4 ▁at ▁M ons , ▁although ▁by ▁ 1 1 ▁November
▁there ▁were ▁few ▁surv iving ▁Irish ▁Gu ards men ▁of ▁that ▁first ▁battle . ▁The ▁sacrifice ▁by ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁during ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁had ▁been ▁immense . ▁The ▁two ▁batt al ions ▁of ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁had ▁suffered ▁ 2 , 3 4 9 ▁officers ▁and ▁men ▁killed ▁and ▁well ▁over ▁ 5 , 0 0 0 ▁wounded . ▁The ▁regiment ▁was ▁awarded ▁ 4 0 6 ▁med als , ▁including ▁four ▁Victoria ▁Cross es , ▁during ▁the ▁Great ▁War . ▁ ▁Among ▁those ▁killed ▁serving ▁with ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁in ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁was ▁Second ▁Lieutenant ▁John ▁Ki pling , ▁the ▁ 1 8 - year - old ▁son ▁of ▁author ▁Rud yard ▁Ki pling , ▁who ▁was ▁listed ▁as ▁missing ▁during ▁the ▁Battle ▁of ▁Lo os ▁in ▁September ▁ 1 9 1 5 . ▁In ▁t ribute ▁to ▁his ▁son ' s ▁regiment , ▁Ki pling ▁composed ▁the ▁poem ▁" The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards " ▁and ▁after ▁the ▁war ▁wrote ▁a ▁two - volume ▁history ▁of ▁the ▁regiment ' s ▁service ▁in ▁the ▁war . ▁ ▁Inter - W ar ▁ ▁With ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁at ▁an ▁end , ▁occupation ▁duties ▁await ed ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁and ▁on ▁ 1 1 ▁December ▁ 1 9 1 8 ▁the ▁regiment ▁march ed ▁into ▁Germany , ▁drums ▁be ating , ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Army ▁of ▁the ▁Rh ine . ▁Both ▁batt al ions ▁returned ▁to ▁Britain ▁vict or iously ▁in ▁the ▁spring ▁of ▁
1 9 1 9 ▁and ▁after ▁a ▁final ▁para de ▁through ▁London , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁and ▁ 3 rd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁now ▁sur plus ▁to ▁requirements ▁and ▁dis band ed . ▁In ▁ 1 9 2 0 , ▁for ▁St ▁Patrick ' s ▁Day , ▁the ▁regiment ▁don ned ▁its ▁full - d ress ▁for ▁the ▁first ▁time ▁since ▁before ▁the ▁out break ▁of ▁World ▁War ▁I . ▁The ▁regiment ▁was ▁also ▁comp elled ▁to ▁co pe ▁with ▁the ▁internal ▁t ensions ▁caused ▁by ▁the ▁political ▁situation ▁back ▁home ▁in ▁Ireland ▁following ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁First ▁World ▁War ▁although ▁the ▁regiment ▁remained ▁largely ▁det ached ▁from ▁the ▁events ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁War ▁of ▁Independ ence , ▁with ▁only ▁one ▁member ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁being ▁charged ▁with ▁trying ▁to ▁sm ug gle ▁weapons ▁to ▁republic ans ▁and ▁even ▁this ▁act ▁was ▁motiv ated ▁by ▁a ▁desire ▁for ▁mon et ary ▁gain ▁rather ▁than ▁political ▁mot ives . ▁ ▁The ▁regiment ' s ▁continued ▁existence ▁was ▁threatened ▁briefly ▁when ▁W inst on ▁Church ill ▁( l ater ▁dest ined ▁to ▁become ▁the ▁Prime ▁Minister ), ▁who ▁served ▁as ▁Secretary ▁of ▁State ▁for ▁War ▁between ▁ 1 9 1 9 ▁and ▁ 1 9 2 1 , ▁sought ▁the ▁elim ination ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁and ▁Wel sh ▁Gu ards ▁as ▁an ▁economy ▁measure . ▁This ▁proposal , ▁however , ▁did ▁not ▁find ▁favour ▁in ▁government ▁or ▁Army ▁circles ▁and ▁was ▁dropped . ▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9
2 2 ▁the ▁regiment ▁deployed ▁to ▁Constantin ople ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁an ▁al lied ▁force ▁during ▁the ▁troubles ▁in ▁that ▁region . ▁In ▁late ▁ 1 9 2 3 ▁the ▁regiment ▁deployed ▁to ▁the ▁g arrison ▁at ▁Gib ral tar . ▁They ▁returned ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁in ▁ 1 9 2 4 . ▁They ▁were ▁then ▁based ▁in ▁the ▁south ▁of ▁England ▁until ▁ 1 9 3 6 ▁when ▁they ▁deployed ▁to ▁Egypt . ▁While ▁station ed ▁there , ▁the ▁regiment ▁deployed ▁to ▁Palest ine ▁for ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁months ▁on ▁internal ▁security ▁duties ▁against ▁Arab ▁milit ants . ▁The ▁regiment ▁returned ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁in ▁ 1 9 3 8 ▁as ▁war ▁with ▁Germany ▁looked ▁increasing ly ▁likely . ▁The ▁following ▁year ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Battalion ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁re - formed ▁five ▁months ▁before ▁World ▁War ▁II ▁began . ▁ ▁Second ▁World ▁War ▁ ▁Norwegian ▁Camp aign ▁and ▁retre at ▁from ▁North - West ▁Europe ▁ ▁Upon ▁the ▁out break ▁of ▁war ▁in ▁September ▁ 1 9 3 9 , ▁both ▁batt al ions ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁based ▁in ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom . ▁In ▁April ▁ 1 9 4 0 , ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion ▁deployed ▁to ▁Norway ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 4 th ▁( Gu ards ) ▁Brigade . ▁In ▁May ▁the ▁brig ade ▁H Q ▁and ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁ab o ard ▁the ▁Polish ▁l iner / t ro op ship ▁Ch

▁back ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁expedition ary ▁force ▁in ▁June . ▁ ▁In ▁May ▁ 1 9 4 0 , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁deployed ▁to ▁the ▁Hook ▁of ▁Holland ▁to ▁cover ▁the ▁ev acu ation ▁of ▁the ▁Dutch ▁Royal ▁Family ▁and ▁Government . ▁The ▁batt alion ▁returned ▁to ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁the ▁day ▁after ▁the ▁ev acu ation , ▁but ▁had ▁only ▁a ▁short ▁resp ite , ▁for ▁just ▁a ▁few ▁days ▁later ▁they , ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁Wel sh ▁Gu ards , ▁crossed ▁over ▁to ▁the ▁northern ▁French ▁port ▁of ▁Bou log ne , ▁reaching ▁the ▁town ▁on ▁ 2 2 ▁May . ▁Their ▁orders ▁were ▁to ▁defend ▁part ▁of ▁Bou log ne ▁during ▁the ▁ev acu ation ▁of ▁the ▁British ▁Ex ped ition ary ▁Force ▁( BE F ) ▁from ▁the ▁over wh el ming ▁and ▁in ex or able ▁advance ▁of ▁the ▁Germ ans . ▁The ▁Gu ards ▁st out ly ▁def ended ▁their ▁area ▁of ▁responsibility ▁from ▁better - equ ipped ▁German ▁forces , ▁rep ul sing ▁a ▁number ▁of ▁German ▁attacks ▁on ▁the ▁ 2 2 nd , ▁but ▁on ▁the ▁morning ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 3 rd , ▁superior ▁German ▁forces ▁attacked ▁the ▁batt alion ▁and ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁suffered ▁very ▁heavily . ▁Later ▁that ▁day ▁the ▁batt alion ▁was ▁ev acu ated ▁from ▁Bou log ne , ▁being ▁the ▁last ▁to ▁leave ▁and ▁having ▁fought ▁val i antly ▁while ▁await ing ▁ev acu ation .
▁ ▁In ▁ 1 9 4 1 , ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁made ▁regiment al ▁history ▁when ▁they ▁were ▁re organ ised ▁as ▁an ▁arm oured ▁batt alion , ▁the ▁first ▁in ▁the ▁Irish ▁Guard ' s ▁history , ▁joining ▁the ▁newly ▁formed ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Division ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁ 5 th ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Brigade . ▁The ▁Training ▁Battalion ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁raised ▁the ▁same ▁year , ▁later ▁becoming ▁the ▁ 3 rd ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards . ▁In ▁ 1 9 4 3 , ▁the ▁ 3 rd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁re organ ised ▁as ▁a ▁full ▁inf antry ▁batt alion ▁and ▁followed ▁their ▁sister ▁regiment ▁into ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Division ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁ 3 2 nd ▁Gu ards ▁Brigade . ▁ ▁North ▁Africa ▁and ▁Italy ▁In ▁March ▁ 1 9 4 3 ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁who ▁had ▁been ▁based ▁in ▁the ▁United ▁Kingdom ▁since ▁their ▁return ▁from ▁Norway ▁in ▁June ▁ 1 9 4 0 , ▁land ed , ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 4 th ▁Gu ards ▁Brigade , ▁in ▁Tun is ia , ▁to ▁fight ▁in ▁the ▁final ▁stages ▁of ▁the ▁campaign ▁in ▁North ▁Africa . ▁The ▁batt alion ▁fought ▁in ▁the ▁Med je z ▁P lain ▁area , ▁seeing ▁heavy ▁action ▁at ▁Dj eb el ▁bou ▁A ou kaz , ▁or ▁' B ou '. ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁task

▁men ▁charged ▁the ▁Germ ans , ▁inf lic ting ▁heavy ▁cas ual ties ▁on ▁the ▁Germ ans ▁which ▁resulted ▁in ▁the ▁rout ▁of ▁the ▁German ▁force . ▁The ▁two ▁men ▁began ▁to ▁return ▁to ▁their ▁position ▁but ▁as ▁they ▁did ▁so , ▁K enne ally ▁was ▁hit ▁in ▁the ▁th igh . ▁However , ▁he ▁continued ▁to ▁fight , ▁ref using ▁to ▁rel in qu ish ▁his ▁B ren ▁gun ▁or ▁leave ▁his ▁position . ▁Despite ▁his ▁w ound ▁he ▁fought ▁for ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁day ▁and ▁for ▁his ▁actions ▁was ▁awarded ▁the ▁Victoria ▁Cross . ▁ ▁Si xty ▁hand - p icked ▁men ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 4 , 0 0 0 ▁strong ▁British ▁cont ing ent ▁that ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁victory ▁para de ▁in ▁the ▁capital ▁Tun is ▁on ▁ 2 0 ▁May ▁ 1 9 4 3 . ▁The ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁did ▁not ▁have ▁much ▁time ▁to ▁b ask ▁on ▁their ▁vict ories ▁in ▁North ▁Africa ▁however ▁when ▁in ▁December ▁of ▁that ▁year ▁they ▁were , ▁together ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 4 th ▁Gu ards ▁Brigade , ▁deployed ▁to ▁the ▁Italian ▁Front . ▁ ▁The ▁batt alion ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁An z io ▁land ings ▁( c oden amed ▁Operation ▁Sh ing le ) ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁first ▁units ▁to ▁land ▁in ▁Italy ▁on ▁ 2 2 ▁January ▁ 1 9 4 4 . ▁The ▁land ings ▁were ▁met ▁by ▁stronger ▁than
▁expected ▁resistance ▁as ▁the ▁Al lied ▁arm ies ▁moved ▁in land ▁and ▁a ▁German ▁counter att ack ▁was ▁launched ▁several ▁days ▁later . ▁The ▁Al lies ▁were ▁soon ▁driven ▁back ▁to ▁the ▁beach head ▁where ▁fier ce ▁fighting ▁ra ged ▁and ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁saw ▁action ▁at ▁Car roc eto ▁where ▁they ▁rep uls ed ▁several ▁German ▁attacks . ▁The ▁batt alion ▁also ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁attack ▁on ▁Cam pole one , ▁where ▁they ▁experienced ▁heavy ▁cas ual ties . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁inf lic ted ▁heavy ▁cas ual ties ▁on ▁the ▁Germ ans , ▁but ▁were ▁surrounded ▁the ▁following ▁day ▁with ▁little ▁support ▁against ▁German ▁arm our , ▁and ▁were ▁forced ▁to ▁fight ▁their ▁way ▁through ▁to ▁Al lied ▁lines , ▁suffering ▁many ▁cas ual ties ▁in ▁the ▁process . ▁A ▁few ▁further ▁actions ▁took ▁place ▁for ▁the ▁batt alion ' s ▁companies ▁but , ▁by ▁April , ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁having ▁suffered ▁dev ast ating ▁losses , ▁had ▁been ▁sever ely ▁de ple ted ▁in ▁man power ▁and ▁were ▁returned ▁to ▁the ▁UK ▁along ▁with ▁the ▁remainder ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 4 th ▁Gu ards ▁Brigade . ▁Back ▁in ▁the ▁UK , ▁it ▁was ▁decided ▁that ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁would ▁become ▁the ▁regiment ' s ▁training ▁batt alion ▁in ▁order ▁to ▁provide ▁man power ▁to ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁and ▁ 3 rd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁who ▁would ▁soon ▁be ▁undert aking ▁the ▁invasion ▁of ▁Europe
. ▁ ▁Land ing ▁in ▁Norm andy , ▁Market ▁Garden ▁and ▁the ▁advance ▁to ▁Germany ▁ ▁Following ▁the ▁Norm andy ▁land ings ▁on ▁ 6 ▁June ▁ 1 9 4 4 , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁and ▁ 3 rd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁land ed ▁in ▁France ▁on ▁ 2 5 ▁June ▁to ▁take ▁part ▁in ▁the ▁Norm andy ▁Camp aign . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁as ▁part ▁of ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Division , ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁Operation ▁Good wood ▁( 1 8 – 2 0 ▁July ). ▁The ▁Division ' s ▁objective ▁was ▁C ag ny , ▁V im ont ▁and ▁the ▁surrounding ▁area . ▁During ▁ 1 8 ▁July ▁ 1 9 4 4 , ▁near ▁C ag ny , ▁Lieutenant ▁( l ater ▁Sir ) ▁John ▁G orm an ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁was ▁in ▁his ▁Sh erman ▁tank ▁when ▁he ▁was ▁confront ed ▁by ▁a ▁far ▁superior ▁German ▁T iger ▁II ▁or ▁' K ing ▁T iger '. ▁G orm an ' s ▁tank ▁fired ▁one ▁shot ▁at ▁the ▁T iger ▁II , ▁but ▁the ▁shot ▁b ounced ▁off ▁its ▁thick ▁arm our . ▁The ▁Sh erman ' s ▁gun ▁jam med ▁before ▁a ▁second ▁shot ▁could ▁be ▁fired , ▁and ▁G orm an ▁then ▁gave ▁the ▁order ▁to ▁ram ▁the ▁T iger ▁II ▁just ▁as ▁it ▁was ▁beginning ▁to ▁turn ▁its ▁massive ▁ 8 8 mm ▁gun ▁on ▁his ▁tank . ▁The ▁Sh erman ▁sm ashed ▁into ▁the
▁T iger ▁II , ▁the ▁collision ▁dis abling ▁both ▁t anks . ▁The ▁cre ws ▁of ▁both ▁t anks ▁then ▁ba iled ▁out . ▁Lieutenant ▁G orm an , ▁once ▁he ▁had ▁seen ▁his ▁crew ▁to ▁safety , ▁returned ▁to ▁the ▁scene ▁in ▁a ▁comm ande ered ▁Sh erman ▁Fire fly ▁and ▁destroyed ▁the ▁King ▁T iger . ▁He ▁was ▁awarded ▁the ▁Military ▁Cross ▁for ▁his ▁actions , ▁while ▁the ▁driver ▁from ▁his ▁own ▁crew , ▁L ance - Cor por al ▁James ▁Baron , ▁won ▁the ▁Military ▁Medal . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁involved ▁in ▁the ▁further ▁fighting ▁that ▁ra ged ▁around ▁C ag ny ▁for ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁day . ▁C ag ny , ▁dev ast ated ▁by ▁heavy ▁bomb ing , ▁was ▁finally ▁liber ated ▁by ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁on ▁the ▁morning ▁of ▁ 1 9 ▁July . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁also ▁saw ▁action ▁in ▁Operation ▁Blue co at ▁launched ▁on ▁ 3 0 ▁July ▁which ▁saw ▁the ▁British ▁capture ▁the ▁strateg ically ▁important ▁high ▁ground ▁around ▁the ▁Mont ▁Pin con ▁area . ▁Following ▁the ▁break out ▁from ▁Norm andy ▁and ▁rapid ▁advance ▁through ▁the ▁more ▁open ▁French ▁terrain , ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁and ▁ 3 rd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁crossed ▁the ▁River ▁Seine ▁on ▁ 2 9 ▁August ▁and ▁began ▁the ▁advance ▁into ▁Belg ium ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Division ▁towards ▁Br uss els ▁which ▁was ▁liber ated ▁on ▁ 3 ▁September . ▁ ▁Following ▁the ▁liber ation ▁of ▁Br

▁with ▁anti - t ank ▁weapons ▁and ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁t anks ▁in ▁the ▁initial ▁troops ▁were ▁hit ▁and ▁destroyed . ▁After ▁Haw ker ▁Ty ph o ons ▁were ▁called ▁in ▁to ▁provide ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁aer ial ▁support , ▁the ▁Gu ards men ▁moved ▁forward ▁to ▁clear ▁the ▁German ▁positions , ▁man ned ▁by ▁elements ▁from ▁two ▁German ▁par ach ute ▁batt al ions ▁and ▁two ▁batt al ions ▁of ▁the ▁ 9 th ▁SS ▁Pan zer ▁Division ▁and ▁soon ▁rout ed ▁the ▁German ▁forces ▁fl ank ing ▁the ▁road . ▁The ▁fighting ▁soon ▁died ▁down ▁and ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁were ▁able ▁to ▁advance ▁and ▁occup y ▁V alk ens wa ard ▁Despite ▁the ▁progress ▁of ▁XXX ▁Corps , ▁the ▁unexpected ▁resistance ▁meant ▁that ▁the ▁advance ▁was ▁already ▁much ▁slower ▁than ▁planned . ▁Early ▁on ▁ 1 8 ▁September , ▁reconna issance ▁units ▁of ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Division ▁made ▁contact ▁with ▁the ▁U . S . ▁ 1 0 1 st ▁Air bor ne ▁Division ▁who ▁had ▁liber ated ▁E ind h oven , ▁with ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁XXX ▁Corps ▁reaching ▁the ▁city ▁later ▁that ▁day . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁now ▁camp ed ▁outside ▁Son ▁while ▁the ▁Royal ▁Engine ers ▁built ▁a ▁Ba iley ▁bridge ▁over ▁the ▁Wilhelm ina ▁Canal ▁so ▁that ▁XXX ▁Corps ▁could ▁advance ▁to ▁N ij m egen . ▁The ▁bridge ▁was ▁completed ▁early ▁on ▁ 1 9 ▁September ▁and ▁XXX ▁Corps ▁continued ▁their ▁advance . ▁Later ▁that ▁day ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Division ,
▁still ▁led ▁by ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁reached ▁N ij m egen ▁where ▁the ▁U . S . ▁ 8 2 nd ▁Air bor ne ▁Division ▁was ▁located . ▁Their ▁advance ▁had ▁to ▁be ▁halt ed , ▁however , ▁for ▁the ▁ 8 2 nd ▁had ▁failed ▁to ▁take ▁the ▁bridge ▁due ▁to ▁heavy ▁German ▁resistance . ▁The ▁bridge ▁was ▁finally ▁captured ▁on ▁the ▁evening ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 0 th ▁but ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁and ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁the ▁Gu ards ▁Arm oured ▁Division ▁were ▁now ▁scattered ▁over ▁ 2 5 ▁square ▁miles ▁trying ▁to ▁secure ▁N ij m egen ▁itself ▁and ▁defend ▁their ▁rear ▁from ▁constant ▁German ▁attacks . ▁On ▁the ▁ 2 1 st , ▁the ▁British ▁ 1 st ▁Air bor ne ▁Division ▁at ▁Arn hem , ▁heavily ▁out number ed ▁and ▁out g unn ed , ▁had ▁to ▁surrender ▁after ▁many ▁days ▁fighting ▁that ▁saw ▁true ▁hero ism ▁and ▁courage . ▁XXX ▁Corps ▁had ▁been ▁just ▁an ▁hour ▁from ▁the ▁bridge ▁at ▁Arn hem ▁but ▁had ▁to ▁wait ▁for ▁the ▁arrival ▁of ▁the ▁ 4 3 rd ▁( W esse x ) ▁Infantry ▁Division ▁before ▁they ▁could ▁advance . ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁took ▁part ▁in ▁further ▁fighting ▁until ▁ 2 5 ▁September ▁when ▁the ▁rem n ants ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 st ▁Air bor ne ▁Division ▁were ▁ev acu ated ▁across ▁the ▁Rh ine . ▁ ▁The ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁remained ▁in ▁the ▁Netherlands ▁until ▁the ▁Al lied ▁advance ▁into ▁Germany ▁was
▁launched , ▁seeing ▁heavy ▁action ▁during ▁the ▁Rh in eland ▁Camp aign . ▁On ▁ 2 1 ▁April ▁ 1 9 4 5 , ▁at ▁the ▁village ▁of ▁W isted t ▁in ▁northern ▁Germany , ▁Gu ards man ▁Edward ▁Char l ton ▁of ▁the ▁ 2 nd ▁Battalion , ▁Irish ▁Gu ards , ▁was ▁a ▁co - driver ▁of ▁a ▁tank ▁during ▁the ▁capture ▁of ▁the ▁village ▁by ▁a ▁small ▁force ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards . ▁The ▁Germ ans ▁soon ▁attempted ▁to ▁re take ▁the ▁village ▁with ▁numer ically ▁superior ▁forces , ▁consisting ▁mostly ▁of ▁officer ▁cad ets ▁under ▁the ▁command ▁of ▁very ▁experienced ▁instruct or ▁officers ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁two ▁or ▁three ▁self - prop elled ▁guns . ▁Three ▁of ▁the ▁four ▁t anks ▁of ▁the ▁Irish ▁Gu ards ▁force ▁were ▁knock ed ▁out , ▁while ▁the ▁fourth ▁( Char l ton ' s ) ▁was ▁disabled ▁by ▁a ▁complete ▁elect rical ▁failure ▁before ▁the ▁action ▁started . ▁ ▁When ▁the ▁tank ▁was ▁disabled , ▁Gu ards man ▁Char l ton ▁was ▁ordered ▁to ▁dis mount ▁the ▁tur ret ▁ 0 . 5 0 ▁Brow ning ▁machine ▁gun ▁and ▁support ▁the ▁inf antry , ▁who ▁were ▁in ▁danger ▁of ▁being ▁over run ▁by ▁the ▁Germ ans . ▁Char l ton ▁took ▁the ▁machine ▁gun ▁from ▁his ▁disabled ▁tank ▁and ▁advanced ▁in ▁full ▁view ▁of ▁the ▁attack ing ▁Germ ans , ▁firing ▁and ▁inf lic ting ▁heavy ▁cas ual ties ▁on ▁them , ▁hal ting ▁their ▁lead ▁company ▁and ▁allowing ▁the ▁rest
