Description/Blazon

A shield blazoned: Argent, on a saltire per saltire Azure and Gray per cross counterchanged, in bend three alerions of the first, between in fess the Spanish War badge of the 1st Division, 2d Corps (a red four-leaf clover) and a prickly pear cactus, all Proper. Below the shield is a blue scroll inscribed "RALLY ROUND THE FLAG" in silver letters.

Symbolism

The white shield represents Infantry. The alerions, taken from the coat of arms of the Province of Lorraine, France, symbolize World War I service in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. The saltire denotes Civil War service; the four-leaf clover signifies service with the 1st Division, 2d Corps, during the Spanish-American War; and the cactus represents Mexican Border service in 1916. The motto reflects a statement made by Colonel Kenly of the 1st Maryland at the battle of Front Royal, Virginia, on May 23, 1862, during a critical moment of the fight.

Background

The distinctive unit insignia was originally approved for the 1st Regiment Infantry, Maryland National Guard, on July 14, 1927. It was redesignated for the 115th Infantry Regiment, Maryland Army National Guard, on February 3, 1941. The insignia was amended to add the motto on October 14, 1968.
