167th
Infantry Regiment
The
year 1836 marks the origin of the 167th Regiment. The unit engaged
in many campaigns during the Civil War and during both World Wars.
Many times the regiment has been utilized for emergency duty in the
state of Alabama as National Guard troops.
The
167th shield is white, bearing a red cross which commemorates the
carrying of the in trenched La Croix de Rouge Farm, below
Fere-de-Tardebots in the Soissons Offensive, July 26 - 27, 1918.
On the rainbow, which symbolizes its membership in the 42nd Rainbow
Division, are five fleurs-de-lis representing the five major engagements
participated in by the Regiment in the World War.
The
stone wall, bearing seventeen stones, is commemorative of the seventeen
major campaigns in which the Fourth Alabama Infantry, CSA, took
part. The motto, "Signa Inferemus" is freely translated
to read, "We Shall Drive Forward." |
