The Crest is that for Regiments and Separate Battalions of the Maryland Army National Guard. The White colour of the Shield symbolises Infantry. The alerions are taken from the coat of arms of the Province of Lorraine, France and represent World War I service in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The saltire represents Civil War service; the four-leaf clover, service in the 1st Division, 2d Corps, in the Spanish-American War; and the cactus, Mexican Border service in 1916. The motto is from the statement made by Colonel Kenly of the 1st Maryland, at the battle of Front Royal, Virginia, 1862-05-23, at the most critical moment of the fight. | The Crest is that for Regiments and Separate Battalions of the Maryland Army National Guard.
