Image:16th FA Regimental Crest.JPG

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This file is from a US Government website (http://www.hood.army.mil/4id_3-16fa/Crest.htm).

Also from that website:

Design approved February 11, 1921

The dancette fess is for the hills and mountains with which the regiment's history is connected (King's Mountain, North Carolins; Hill 304 near Verdun; Hill 295 north of Septsarges, France; the Landskrone, Rhineland; and Mt. Rainer, Washington). The black is for the battle losses. The three stars are for three major operations of World War I in which the regiment took part. The horse's head indicates a mounted regiment, and the ivy leaf is taken from the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 4th Division to which the regiment was assigned in 1917.
