 | 75 Ridge Road Howick 3290 Natal R.S.A. 10.3.93 Dear Hugh and Roisin Thought you would like the enclosed as a souvenir - 2 reporters descended on me and requested a Q& A interview to the extent reflected! I have sent one to Joy. I trust you are both keeping well and that all the modification to your home is a thing of the past. We are both well here it being summer with plenty of sunshine and now (at last) much rain! As a result the garden is looking ship shape i.e as much as our 2 dogs and 1 puppy will permit - they are no trouble really. Am hoping to come home later this year, around July-August and hope that we will meet up. Joy will keep you informed. Now keep well - often think of you both my fondest love to you, as always Your M Boy xxx (for Roisin) |
 Hugh George's crest. |
The blazons of the Arms and Crest are as follows:
Arms: Vert two bars embattled on the lower edge the crenelles enarched argent between six spearheads gold; Crest: Upon a helm with a wreath argent and vert a demi greater kudu couped vert armed and supporting between the forelegs an anchor gold. In the Shield of Arms the *Norman origin is reflected in the arches; the centuries resident in Wiltshire (my grandfather Charles leaving Highworth for the Isle of Wight in year 1855) in the alternate bars of green and white from the County Arms and allusion to the first Brind Armorial Bearings last known to be used by Frederick William Brind, The Court Lodge, Chelsford, Kent, by incorporating six golden spearheads in addition to the ‘Motto’. In the Crest, link with the Isle of Wight where my father and self were born, is in the anchor which appears in both the Island's Arms and Crest and my 50 years plus service in Africa in the demi greater Kudu, below which is a Crest wreath, such wreaths dating back to the 14th century when the use of Crests commenced, buckled on to the top of a helm; in order to hide the untidiness of such strapping or buckling, two strands of twisted silk were placed around the crown of the helm. The tinctures in the Crest reflect those of the Arms in the interest of unity of design. *BRIND- “on the brow of a hill”. |
