Claiming the Dragon:
The China Relief Expedition
...The Boxer Rebellion...


"In 1900, The Boxer Rebellion in China took the Fourteenth deep into
the Far East.  Our unit defeated the Chinese rebels in the battle of Yang-tsun
and again a few days later in the battle for Peking.  The Fourteenth, braving fire
from above, scaled the walls of the city and overcame it's defenders.  Here
the Fourteenth Infantry added it's Golden Dragon, the Chinese symbol of power,
to it's Regimental Crest."
