Our youngest member

Our youngest member, Julian Tristan Zrenner from Germany sends us the enclosed snap of the Arms of Castille and Leon on board the full-scale galleon which was built for the film "Pirates" of Roman Polanski in a shipyard in the village of Port El Kantaoui, Tunisia, adjacent to the Tarak Ben Ammar Studios. An accurate replica above the waterline, but sporting a steel hull and a 400 HP auxiliary engine, the "Neptune" was and still is entered into the Tunisian naval register and is currently a tourist attraction in the port of Genoa where Julian Tristan photographed it.

 

Arms of Brian Lambie

Brian  Lambie M.B.E., F.S.A. SCOT. and Churchill  Fellow.
      Date of matriculation 3rd June 1976.

Archbishop Tartaglia

The new archbishop of Glasgow, Most Rev. Philip Tartaglia, will be enthroned tomorrow, Our Lady's Birthday, at St Andrew's Metropolitan Cathedral, Glasgow.

I have had a go at cobbling together the revised version of his Grace's Arms - the bezants should actually be "barley loaves" in line with the parable of the loaves and the fishes. The arms were designed by Monsignor Charlie Burns, who is a Canon of St Peter's Basilica. I like the Glaswegian fish with the ring in its mouth.

Members' Countries September 2012

Salvete

We welcome five new members to the Society:
Ms R. Kent from Smyrna, Georgia, USA,
Dr R Devine from Fort Worth, Texas.
Lt Col. I. Shepherd from Edinburgh,
Mr D. Bellamy of Newark, Notts.

We are especially delighted to welcome a new Junior Member - Julian Tristan Zrenner from Bavaria.

We do not have a lot going on for younger members in the HSS so I propose to start an online newsletter directed at a younger age-group but which might also be useful for people who have just discovered an interest in Heraldry. All contributions welcomed!

Salve

Ms R. Kent, New York.
