The
attack on the intrenchments at Selma is symbolized by the embattled
blue pale and red bayonet. The capture of Hood's artillery is
shown by the reversed cannon, the rout of the enemy's cavalry at
Murfreesborough by the reversed sabre, and the successful Indian
campaigns by the reversed arrow. The Bud Dajo campaign is
indicated by the conventionalized volcano of the crest, and the
defeat of the Moros by the reversed kris in the crater. On both
shield and crest is the regiment's triumphant sabre at the charge.
