Description

A shield blazoned: Vairy Azure and Buff, on a fess Gules fimbriated Argent a fleur-de-lis of the same (Argent). Attached below and to the sides of the shield is a silver scroll inscribed "FORWARD WITHOUT FEAR" in red letters.

Symbolism

The vair pattern is derived from the coat of arms of Lafayette, who was escorted through Connecticut by the First and Second Companies, Governors Horse Guards, during his visit to the United States in September 1842. The colors blue and buff, taken from the uniforms worn by these companies, reflect the unit's early origins. The fess and fleur-de-lis are borrowed from the coat of arms of the Department of Soissons, France, where the 101st, 102nd, and 103rd Machine Gun Battalions first saw combat. The color and symbols further emphasize the unit's association with Machine Gun units during the war.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 1st Cavalry Regiment, Connecticut Army National Guard, on June 16, 1925. It was redesignated for the 122d Cavalry Regiment, Connecticut and Rhode Island Army National Guard, on August 5, 1930. The insignia was rescinded on March 11, 1977.
