As you may have already seen, I have included an artist rendering of the unit crest in color on the left-sidebar of this site.  Can I prove that this was the actual color scheme for the battalion? Unfortunately not.  However, I have done extensive research and I would give this rendering an 85% solution on the actual design and color scheme.  It is truly unfortunate that there were so few images of unit crest/shields in color, but I will constantly strive to provide more information as I learn it.  Additionally, if anyone out there has unit histories, ledgers, pictures, etc., please contact me and I would love to talk to you about it.
