| Reference: Wikipedia Reference information: United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, the Maltese Cross is the symbol used by Rifle Regiments, and has been incorporated into the badges of virtually all rifle units, including officers cross belt of the Gurkha Rifles[5] and now amalgamated, The Royal Green Jackets. The first postmark employed for the cancellation of the then new postage stamps in the 1840s was the shape of a Maltese cross and named accordingly. The Maltese cross also forms the basis for the design of the Order of the Bath. The Maltese cross is also the symbol of Neath Rugby Football Club in Neath, Wales. It is a symbol used by the ATOC on rail tickets, which allows travel on the London Underground between London Rail Terminals (e.g. between Euston and Victoria), when passengers are traveling via London. It is used by the St John Ambulance organisation as their main form of identification. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2011-08-12 17:28:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- the last sentence is maybe related... to # |
