Hello Jon

Can you make out what the motto is? As far as I know the Royal West Kents didn't have any official motto beginning 'Nulli .....'. Usually their white horse appears with 'Invicta'.

The problem is that the horse emblem was used by many organisations in Kent (and elsewhere I suspect) and it could be police, fire, ambulance, almost anything in fact that might warrant the use of a crown.

Not much help, I'm afraid.

I would guess the motto is "Nulli Secundus" - latin for "Second To None".

Isn't that the Coldstream Guards motto? Don't think it's anything to do with Coldstream Guards though. Possibly Yeomanry?
