[edit] Notes

  1. ^ "In 1832, King William IV of England granted the Royal Regiment of Artillery the right to wear on their appointments the royal arms and supporters over a cannon with the motto, 'Ubique Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt' (Everywhere Whither Right and Glory Lead). The next year (1833), the order was amended to make clear that 'Ubique' and 'Quo Fas et Gloria Ducunt' were two separate mottos."
