1/4th Cavalry "Quarterhorse" Coat of Arms
Unit Crest
The shield is yellow for cavalry. The attack on the intrenchments at
Selma is symbolized by the embattled blue pale and red bayonet. The capture
of Hood's artillery is shown by the reversed cannon, the route of the enemy's
cavalry at Murfreesborough by the reversed sabre, and the successful Indian
campaigns by the reversed arrow. The Bud Dajo campaign is indicated by
the conventionalized volcano of the crest, and the defeat of the Moros
by the reversed kris in the center. On both shield and crest is the regiment's
triumphant sabre at the charge. (Armor-Cavalry Part I, page 125)
