The shield is white (silver), the old Infantry colors. The blue saltire is taken from the Confederate flag - for Civil War service. At the battle of Gettysburg the 1st Minnesota Infantry Volunteers were in the 2nd Division, 2nd Corps (Hancock’s), whose badge was the three-leaf clover. The figure “8” represents the Spanish War service and the crossed bolos the Philippine Insurrection service, while the fleur-de-lis represents World War I service of the 135th Infantry. The bull’s skull (shoulder sleeve insignia of the 34th Division) indicates service with this Division during the period of peace and through World War II. | |||
The arms were approved on 23 June 1926, and the Distictive Unit Insignia on 18 June 1926. They was amended to show additional War Service on 19 December 1951. | |||
