The four blue and white bars of the shield are the old and the present infantry colors and indicate the four wars in which the regiment has participated. The saltire cross is from the Confederate battle flag with the color changed from blue to red. The billets are the shoulder straps of the two generals which this regiment has raised. The crest is the corps badge of the 15th Corps of the Civil War and the motto is the proud designation given the regiment by General Grant. The coat of arms was originally approved on 8 February 1922. It was amended on 2 October 1923. | |||
