"The official badge of the British Army. This version has been slightly improved from the last design in 1999. In January 1926 designs for an Army badge or crest were considered by the Army Council. It was to be the equivalent of the anchor of the Royal Navy and eagle of the Royal Air Force...In April, Sir Henry Burke, Garter King of Arms, was consulted. He suggested, 'two swords, one in its scabbard, in saltire, ensigned with the Imperial crown', the sheathed sword symbolising the army's role in peace time. He thought that the royal crest was inappropriate as it represented nothing but the royal family. If it were chosen however, he would not formally object . The Army Council preferred the Royal Crest...In October 1926 the Army Council wrote to Garter [sic], thanking him for his assistance, and informing him that it had been decided that 'things had better be left as they are.' An Army Crest was finally agreed twelve years later. 'Design originated in 1935 as a device indicative of the British Army for a stained glass window in Ypres Cathedral in memory of King Albert. Approved by HM King George V. A simplified design secured Royal Assent in 1938 as the Army Crest, and was adopted in lieu of the Royal Arms on the Army List.'" -UK Ministry of Defense
