Three vertical cannons with lion’s heads are placed on the safeguard, with numerous strips emerging from it, where the lettering is located. Even after the club moved from Woolwich, it still utilizes cannons, paying homage to the military tradition in which it was founded. These can at times be confused with chimney stacks, yet the presence of a cut lion's head and a cascabel on each is an apparent sign that they are cannons.

1922 — 1925
