Mineyama is most often written with the Chinese characters 峰山, the same characters as used for Mineyama Town (currently Kyotango City) adjacent to Kawabe Village (which became Omiya Town, and now Kyotango City) where the squadron was stationed, but the members of the squadron more often used the characters 峯山.
部隊が駐留した旧河辺村（大宮町を経て現・京丹後市）に隣接する峰山町（現・京丹後市）の表記に合わせて「峰山」と表記する例が多いが、当時の隊員らは「峯山」と表記することが多い。
