Distinctive Unit Insignia


Description/Blazon
A Gold color metal and enamel device 1 1/8 inches (2.86 cm) in height overall, consisting of a shield blazoned: Azure, between two barrulets six fleurs-de-lis all Or. Attached below the shield, a Gold scroll inscribed "NON SIBI SED OMNIBUS" in Blue letters.

Symbolism
The shield is blue to indicate that the organization served with an Infantry Division and also that the majority of the personnel were drawn from the Infantry. The gold barrulets represent that portion of the personnel drawn from the Cavalry. The six fleurs-de-lis symbolize the operations in which the organization participated during World War I. The motto translates to "Not For Self, But For All."

Background
The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 26th Division Quartermaster Train on 16 July 1927. It was amended to correct the motto on 7 December 1928. On 25 March 1936, the insignia was approved and reassigned for the 101st Quartermaster Regiment. The insignia was authorized for the 26th Supply and Transport Battalion on 23 December 1964. As a result of the reorganization of Massachusetts, Connecticut and Vermont ARNG units, the insignia was cancelled on 16 February 1988. It was reinstated and redesignated effective 1 September 1995, for the 101st Quartermaster Battalion. The insignia was redesignated for the 126th Support Battalion on 23 February 2007.
