Did you know that the divisions once had mottoes? In Latin?

This editor cannot vouch for their correctness but they certainly look impressive.

This appeared in the February 2005 issue of In Touch, the D25 newsletter. Each division also had a coat of arms, and these also appear in that issue. (Note that there were only five divisions then.)
