The field gun represents those taken from HMS Shannon to help relieve the Siege of Lucknow in India in 1857, and thus commemorates the valour of Able Seaman William Hall who manned one of these guns while under heavy fire. The cross on the black background alludes to the Victoria Cross which Hall was awarded for this action, the first Black man and the first Nova Scotian to be so honoured. The mayflower, Nova Scotia’s floral emblem, recalls his home province. The white background refers to the Arctic environment in which HMCS William Hall will operate. The Motto translates as “We do not fear or falter,” and alludes to William Hall’s bravery in helping relieve the Siege of Lucknow. The Badge was approved by the Canadian Heraldic Authority on July 20, 2023. | The field gun represents those taken from HMS Shannon to help relieve the Siege of Lucknow in India in 1857, and thus commemorates the valour of Able Seaman William Hall who manned one of these guns while under heavy fire.
