The Fleur-de-lis symbolises service in France, the Chevronwise partition line symbolises the Mountaineous Terrain in the Neaples-Rome Area, where the Battalion served during world War II. The Crest further symbolises service in Italy by using the Italian Green-White and Red Colours. The Snake from the Rod of Aesculapius symbolise the Medical Role and the Armoured Fist the Military Role.
