| On the sign of the batallion you see two adders. Because the batallion was staioned at the Veluwe, a beautiful part in the heart of the East part of The Netherlands, famous because of its nature. It was easy to chose an animal which was richly there, and could be found in the characteristics of the recce batallion: the adder. This little snake with its good camouflage, ablility to swim and never ever let its enemy get too close has the finest compatibility as the recce men have. If forced to battle, it will strike quik and deadly to retreat as soon as possible. |
