The shield is blue and white, the Infantry colors.On the lower part is the Chinese Dragon, and in the white chief the badge of the 14th Corps repeated four times for the four major operations. Chickamauga where the Regiment fought and held so gallantly is further emphasized by the rock. The crest is the triangle and devices from the Katipunan flag of the Philippine Insurrection. The motto is the watchword of the Regiment in “Pidgin English” in recollection of the Regiment’s long service in China. The coat of arms was approved on 30 April 1923. It was amended to correct the blazon of the shield and crest on 14 July 1924. | The shield is blue and white, the Infantry colors.On the lower part is the Chinese Dragon, and in the white chief the badge of the 14th Corps repeated four times for the four major operations.
