Dear Gentlemen,

 

Presentation of the insignia of the Thủ Đức Reserve Officers School / Trường Sĩ quan Trừ bị Thủ Đức (École d’Officiers de Réserve de Thủ Đức 1951~1955):

 

The three flames represent the three "Kỳ / 圻" (provinces / "Bắc Kì 北圻 Tonkin - Trung Kì 中圻 Annam - Nam Kì 南圻 Cochinchina”) and the dragon the ancient coat of arms of Vietnam (Annam).
