The Squadron adopted 'The oorial head' as its emblem in Dec 1944 just before the Supreme Commander of the allied forces Lord Lewis Mountbatten visit to Squadron. The Squadron crest consists of a Oorial head with the Ashoka on top and the Sqn Motto 'Honour unto death' written below. When the Sqn was formed at Peshawar the Afghan tribals used to conduct regular fights amongst a local mountain sheep known as the Oorial or urial. The Oorial is a wild sheep, with a very lengthened sense of smell and sight. They have the ability to climb the steepest hillsides with remarkable ease, and are even wary and alert with significant strength and endurance. This animal has the ability of being a ferocious fighter that continues the fight to death rather than lose face and honour by turning away.
