The first newsletter for 2018 is now online : http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/news- ... tter-no-53.
These arms and crest were granted last month to Rakesh Sharma OBE (a recently decorated corporate CEO in Warwickshire) :
Arms : Vert two Flashes of Lightning in saltire Argent between four Indian Elephants ambulant Or.
Crest : Upon a Helm with a Wreath Or and Vert Rising from a Closed Book fesswise Argent edged Or a Phoenix Vert the flames proper holding in the beak a Bezant.
"Ambulant" seems to be rather a rare attitude for animals.

The April newsletter (No 54) is now online at : http://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/news- ... tter-no-54
Among the grants listed are these honorary arms and crest, granted to John M. Wheat of Virginia USA. Obviously canting; I wonder if the bells allude to the Liberty Bell, which would tie in with the motto.

I wondered what the demi-tyger is holding. The blazon says:
which describes what it is, but not what it represents.
The answer is the logo of the Germanna Foundation.

The little fort founded by German immigrants to the banks of the Rapidan River in Virginia in 1714 was pentagonal in shape.
a Pentagon Azure fimbriated and charged with a Horseshoe Or.

I like it. As I get older, the term "ambulant" gets more appropriate; I have long ago left behind my youthful "rampant" days.

I find "reguardant", "couchant", "sejant" and "dormant" most appropriate for those of us of mature years. "Naiant" was never my thing.

The July newsletter is now on-line: https://www.college-of-arms.gov.uk/news-grants/newsletter/item/155-july-2018-newsletter-no-55
I note particularly the arms granted to Sir Len Allinson, who was British High Commissioner in Lusaka shortly before I served there in 1980. He was born in 1926, so his decision to seek a grant of arms has been a long time coming. He might well have chosen the same motto as Dame Esther Rantzen: If Not Now When.

Nice arms. At 92, Sir Leonard must be one of the oldest grantees on record.

Perhaps I missed it, but does anyone happen to know the blazon for Bryan Ferry's arms?
