Hi Clive, This may be a case of both uses being correct. The fluer-de-lys was representative of the North pointer of a compass, but was referred to as the a fluer-de-lys. Cross reference with Edwards & Langley, British Army Proficiency Badges, 2005, page 21. To quote the Edwards & Langley entry, the CR (Clothing Regulations) 1909 state:
Household Cavalry. Trained squadron scouts wear a brass fluer-de- lys on tunics, serge frocks and undress jackets... Scout Corporals of Horsewear the same badge with the addition of a bar below the fluer-de-lys... Cavalry of the Line. Trained squadron scouts to wear the same as above but the bar is for Scout sergeants and regimental scouts. and Infantry. The scout sergeant and 1st Class Scouts in each battalion wear a brass fleur-de-lys with bar below... (Italics are my addition.)
