[M] A NAVAL DOCKYARD WOODEN BADGE TEMPLATE FOR H.M.S. 'IRON DUKE' 1912
A NAVAL DOCKYARD WOODEN BADGE TEMPLATE FOR H.M.S. IRON DUKE, 1912
carved in oak with a lion holding a banner within an octagonal frame with screw holes -- 13in. (30cm.) diam.; together with wooden templates for the badges of H.M. Ships Neptune 1909; and London 1927
(3)
Shortly after the First World War, the Admiralty instituted a Badge Committee to regularise and authorise 'official' patterns for ship crests. Hitherto most Captains had made their own up which gave a wide variety of eccentric shapes and designs, so-called 'unofficial' badges. Thus, before the War, Iron Duke would have used this format, however, in 1921, the Badge Committee briefly authorised this version (but circular and with a naval crown to the top) and then in 1922 changed it to the more familiar, and perhaps appropriate, profile of the Duke of Wellington.
