My grandpa fled Latvia as a WWI refugee. Decades later, I visited the partisan bunkers and battlefields he never had the chance to visit.

The Royal Canadian Regiment (RCR) Swagger Stick is a ceremonial accessory traditionally associated with officers, warrant officers, and senior non-commissioned members of the regiment. Here are some key points about it:

Purpose: Swagger sticks are not combat tools but symbols of authority, discipline, and regimental pride. They are often carried on parade, at inspections, and during formal regimental functions.

Design:

Usually crafted from polished wood (such as malacca cane or hardwood) with a metal tip.

The headpiece often bears regimental insignia, in the RCR’s case featuring the regimental badge (the eight-pointed star with the Royal Cypher and motto “Pro Patria”).

Length is shorter than a pace stick (generally around 24 inches).

Usage in the RCR:

Swagger sticks have been part of Canadian military tradition since the early 20th century, inherited from British Army practices.

While not universally used in all units today, the RCR maintains strong ceremonial traditions, and swagger sticks are still seen at regimental events, mess functions, and parades.

They symbolize professionalism and bearing, reminding soldiers of the high standards of the regiment.

Difference from Pace Stick: Unlike the pace stick (used for drill and measuring paces), the swagger stick is carried more as a mark of authority and smartness.

Would you like me to also find you current suppliers who specifically produce Royal Canadian Regiment–engraved swagger sticks, or would you prefer a historical overview of how the RCR used swagger sticks over time?

This image screams Scottish pride with a blue-and-green tartan background as its star. Front and center, we’ve got a vintage portrait of Robbie Burns, Scotland’s favorite poet, looking dapper with his 18th-century "romantic rebel" vibes. His name is written in bold, stylish script, like he’s headlining a rock concert for haggis lovers, with the date "25 January 2024" below, marking Burns Night—a celebration that’s all bagpipes, poetry
