English: Description
A silver color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86cm) in height overall consisting of a shield blazoned: Per bend Argent and Azure, a fleur-de-lis, in dexter chief counterchanged, above in dexter base a sea lion holding in its dexter paw a sword palewise of the second and in sinister chief a Korean bell of the second garnished white. Attached below the shield is a silver scroll inscribed "SIEMPRE ADELANTE". Symbolism The service of the former organization, the 223d Armored Infantry Battalion, is indicated by the colors blue and white which represents Infantry. The fleur-de-lis, taken from the canton of the 185th Infantry Regiment, alludes to the descent of the 223d Armored Infantry Battalion from the 2d Battalion of that organization and also symbolizes the battalion’s World War I service. The sea lion represent service in the Philippines during World War II. The bell, for which Korea is noted, is for service in that country during that conflict. Background The insignia was originally approved for the 223d Armored Infantry Battalion on 13 Jun 1956. It was rescinded on 5 Jul 1961. On 29 Oct 1997 the description and symbolism was revised and authorized for the 223d Regiment. |
