Crest: On a wreath of the colors (Or and Tenné) the head dress of the dragoons of 1836 Proper.
Motto: Toujours Prêt (Always Ready).
Symbolism:
The color of the facings of the old dragoon regiment was orange, which is used for the field of the shield; the insignia was an eight-pointed star of gold, two of them (conforming with the numerical designation) are placed on the shield. The traditional episode in the regiment is the charge of Captain May’s squadron on the Mexican artillery at Resaca de la Palma which is commemorated by the principal charge on the shield. The crest is self-explanatory.
