SINCE earliest times, man has fought behind a recognisable sign. Firstly, as a distinguishing mark of his own side, and as a rallying point in the melee of battle. These early symbols were most often a brightly coloured animal or bird. With the development of body and horse armour in the Middle Ages,this too was covered with colours and devices and brought about the beginning of heraldry.
