Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
On a scarlet roundel, a green triangle fimbriated in gold and surmounted by a gold Howitzer erect in pale, firing a projectile proper above a gold scroll with the motto "FIRST THINGS FIRST" in scarlet lettering.

Symbolism
The scarlet is the color of Field Artillery. The green triangle is symbolic of the green fir tree which is the shoulder patch device of the 91st Infantry Division. The Howitzer erect and the projectile proper compliment the fir tree symbolism and are suggestive of the Howitzers with which the 91st Infantry Division Artillery is armed.

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was approved on 8 January 1943.
