The King's Own Royal Lancaster Regiment wears the Lion of England
for a badge, and it is interesting to note that many other regiments
go to the animal kingdom for their crests, the Royal Warwickshire
Regiment wearing an antelope as a badge; the King's Liverpool
Regiment, West Yorkshire Regiment and Royal West Kent Regiment, a
horse; the Buffs, the Scottish Rifles, Royal Berkshire Regiment, North
Staffordshire Regiment and York and Lancaster Regiment, a dragon; the
Gordon Highlanders, Royal Munster Fusiliers, Royal Dublin Fusiliers,
Leicestershire Regiment and Hampshire Regiment, a tiger; the West
Riding Regiment, Connaught Rangers, Seaforth Highlanders, and the
Highland Light Infantry, an elephant; the Royal Irish Fusiliers,
an eagle; the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, a cat; and the
Bedfordshire Regiment, a stag.
