The SAS Drakensberg participated in the traditional naval "line-crossing ceremony" when crossing the Equator, which is a customary initiation rite for sailors. During this ceremony, those crossing for the first time—called "pollywogs"—are initiated and often receive certificates or scrolls recognizing their crossing and new status as "shellbacks."
While information specific to the SAS Drakensberg issuing scrolls or certificates directly is not explicitly detailed in the sources, it is standard naval tradition globally to issue such certificates for Equator crossings. Given that the Drakensberg carried out the ceremony, it is highly likely that scrolls or certificates were issued to crew members who crossed the Equator for the first time, following naval custom.
