It represents the Battle of The Rock of Gibraltar on the 21st July 1704 during the war of Britain (as part of a coalition) against France & Spain. On this day, 1900 Marines & 400 Dutch Marines stormed the island and forced the garrison to surrender, securing the Rock of Gibraltar as a tactical standpoint at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea. It was seen as one of the outstanding achievements of the Corps and is a reflection of the calibre of men who wear the badge.
