The Regimental colours, yellow and green represent the Regiment's affiliation with green, the traditional colour of Arcerion, and the yellow represents the regimental dress uniform jacket facings from the Regiment's original red uniforms during the Third Bush War. The Lynx, a traditional mountain predatory animal, was chosen as the Regimental mascot and is represented on the Regimental colours. Commonly unofficial symbols often seen in the Regimental lines are crossed pickaxes, which shows an affiliation with [[Easthampton|Easthampton's]] steel mining industry, as well as a historical affiliation with alpine climbing tools. | The Regimental colours, yellow and green represent the Regiment's affiliation with green, the traditional colour of Arcerion, and the yellow represents the regimental dress uniform jacket facings from the Regiment's original red uniforms during the Third Bush War.
