SHIELD: Per bend gules
and azure, on a bend or a
bendlet argent indented of
seven and counter indented of
the same fibriated sable.
CREST: On a wreath of
the colors the Arabic numeral
"1" azure fibriated
or with a garland of laurel
vert.
MOTTO: "Semper
Primus" (Always First)
The regiments campaigns
or wars are heraldically
represented by the 14 notches
on the diagonal band across
the shield. The upper part of
the shield is red; this was
the color of the old 2d
Sub-Legion. The lower part is
blue; the infantry color. The
crest with the numeral within
the laurel wreath of victory
and the motto, long in use by
the regiment, are
self-explanatory.
