Symbolism

The blue shield represents Infantry. The white fess rompu (broken) signifies the Hindenburg Line, while the gold pile (wedge) represents the 370th Infantry's success in breaching it. The semé-de-lis pattern on the pile commemorates the Oise-Aisne Operation in France, whose arms are a blue field with gold fleurs-de-lis, with the tinctures on the wedge reversed to avoid blue on blue. The pellet with the French trench helmet represents the 93d Division's shoulder sleeve insignia, highlighting the 370th Infantry's service as part of this division during World War I. The gold Roman sword, derived from the Spanish War medal, denotes non-combat duty, and the cactus symbolizes service on the Mexican Border.
