A lion device is also one of India’s state emblems; it forms the capital of one of the great stone pillars erected by the famous Emperor Asoka about 350 B.C. The sun with twelve rays is from the flag of China; the bell, an ancient instrument for signaling, is of a type used in the Orient where bells were first introduced and are widely used today. The sun and bell refer to the installation and operation of telephone communications during the China offensive in 1945. The colors orange and white are those used for the Signal Corps. Background: The insignia was originally approved for the 35th Signal Group on 2 August 1968. It was redesignated for the 35th Signal Brigade on 25 September 1980.
