160th Infantry Unit Crest (No Motto)
The blue shield of the 160th Infantry Regiment Dis-tinctive Unit Insignia, frequently but errantly called a “unit crest,” indicates the organization’s status in the Infantry branch of the Army. Red and blue diagonal lines trimmed in gold, called bendlets, denote service in the Spanish-American War and Mexican Border duty, respectively. A pair of angel’s wings in the upper right of the shield symbolize Los Angeles, the “City of Angels” and headquarters of the 1st Battalion, 160th Infantry Regiment, while the fleur-de-lis below is for World War I service. A gold border around the shield is emblematic of the state of California and simulates the shores of the Pacific Ocean.
Originally approved on 22 May 1928 for the 160th Infantry Regiment, this unit crest was also approved for the 160th Armored Infantry Battalion in 1955 and was redesignated for the 160th Infantry Regiment on 24 April 1961.
The DUI is the picture is the one you will receive.
