10th Infantry Regiment
The 10th Infantry Regiment is not authorized a Coat of Arms.
As such, the 10th Infantry's badge appears on the organizational
color. On 24 Nov 1920, the Secretary of War instructed the
regimental badge be placed on the regimental color above the eagle.
Badge:
A Roman numeral "X" Azure, superimposed on a Roman sword in
scabbard palewise point down Or, overall a circular band Argent,
fimbriated of the second, bearing the motto "COURAGE AND FIDELITY"
in chief and the date in Roman numerals "MDCCCLV" in base, both
of the first.
Symbolism: The badge is self-explanatory. The motto is taken
from the speech made by the first Colonel of the Regiment, E.B.
Alexander, upon the occasion of the presentation of colors to
the regiment.
