<p>[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 1684806, member: 56"]I think that in this instance the motto does not indicate that the sitter was a member of the order. People who are members of the order are allowed to encircle their arms with the garter and motto. In this instance it looks like the motto encircles the Royal monogram, so it just shows that whoever it is is part of a regiment loyal to the King. That badge would have been a standard part of that unit's uniform.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
