''Fleurs-de-lis'' are featured in the military heraldry of various nations.

The [[British Army]]'s [[63rd (West Suffolk) Regiment of Foot|63rd Regiment of Foot]] started using the ''fleur-de-lis'' as a regimental symbol from the mid-18th century onwards, supposedly to commemorate their role in Britain's [[Invasion of Guadeloupe (1759)|capture of Guadeloupe]] from France in 1759. In 1881, the 63rd Regiment was [[Childers Reforms|reorganised into]] the [[Manchester Regiment]], which also used the ''fleur-de-lis'' as a regimental symbol, and in 1923 it was officially approved as the regiment's [[cap badge]]. The regiment's successor unit, the [[King's Regiment]], continued to use the same cap badge from 1958 until its amalgamation into the [[Duke of Lancaster's Regiment]] in 2006.<ref>Shepperd, Alan (1973), [https://books.google.com/books?id=NGnTJ49weLwC&dq=manchester+regiment+cap+badge+guadeloupe&pg=PA39 ''The King's Regiment'']{{Dead link|date=April 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, Osprey Publishing Ltd, {{ISBN|0-85045-120-5}} (p. 39)</ref>
