- The Regiment, organized in 1917, was made up to a large extent of men from Detroit, and was known locally as "Detroit’s Own."
- The canton bears a part of the coat of arms of Cadillac, the founder of Detroit, and is symbolic of the origin of the Regiment and of its 1924 allocation.

- Literally translated it is the “The Bayonet Decides,” freely translated it may be rendered “We Finish With The Bayonet.”
