As is well known, Santa's toy and gift factory at the North Pole is well guarded but, for obvious reasons, the details of the units guarding the place are a close-kept secret. It is thought that there are several units of heavy cavalry, largely sleigh mounted, but able to serve on foot as infantry as needed - dragoons, in fact. Details of one of their standards have leaked out - see below. Like the light cavalry guidon previously shown on the other site, it has a remarkable resemblance to mid-18th century British patterns. Whether the 3 in the central cartouche refers to squadron or regiment is not known. DG probably means Dragoon Guards but again, this is not certain. The age-old motto of the Santa service Circum Orbem Una Nocte (Around The World In One Night) is proudly displayed on the scroll beneath the central device.
It seemed more appropriate to post this on my somewhat dormant Tippelbruder site rather than on the much more serious SYW Templates site. Hopefully one day I will have time and energy to revivify the world of Tippelbruder!
