The following definitions have been excerpted from W. Cecil Wade's "The Symbolisms of Heraldry or A Treatise on the Meanings and Derivations of Armorial Bearings". Published in London in 1898. 

 

Or = gold or yellow = generosity

Gules = red = military fortitude and magnanimity

Sable = black = constancy or grief

Canton = Bearing of honor. When borne charged, it often contains some special symbols granted by the sovereign in reward for the performance of eminent service.

Bear = Ferocity in the protection of kindred.
