I don't know if this is the answer you are seeking. You refer to "symbol" which makes me think you are referring to an insignia worn on the uniform or on a flag.

The soldier had a term: "saw the elephant". This term meant that the soldier had experienced the Horror of combat. So when a soldier "saw the elephant", it was saying he was shocked from the sight of something so unusual as it would be to see an elephant.
