Translating the mottos of British colonies from Hilarity with Heraldry (educational chit-chat, I guess)
British Virgin Islands: “Vigilate” – Be vigilant
Gibraltar, “Montis insignia Calpe” – Flag of Gibraltar, the Rock [Calpe is the Latin name of Gibraltar]
Newfoundland, 1904-31: “Terra nova haec tibi dona fero” – This new land, as a gift, is given to you.
British Mauritius, 1869-1906: "Stella cavisque moris indici” – The nature of the star and cavern have been revealed? What?
