Category:127th Infantry Regiment Heraldry

Coat of Arms

Shield: Azure, on a pale Argent the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 42nd Division (the fourth quadrant of a rainbow of three bands, Red, Yellow and Blue) surmounted by the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 32nd Division (a Red arrow having shot through a line), both Proper; on a chief of the second three fountains.

The shield is blue for Infantry.
The silver of the pale and chief indicates the 127th Infantry is numerically senior to the 128th Infantry in the 64th Infantry Brigade.
The 127th Infantry was federally recognized 1920-07-14, and the 128th Infantry 1921-04-16.
Tradition is that the name Wisconsin means "wild rushing waters," therefore, the three fountains, heraldic symbols for water, are used to symbolize the three Wisconsin regiments - The First, Second and Third National Guard Regiments - which were combined and from which organizations were drawn to make up the 127th Infantry; they also signify that the unit has been called into Federal service three times - for the Spanish American War, Mexican Border duty and World War I, at the time the coat of arms was approved.
The red arrow was the shoulder sleeve insignia of the 32nd Division and the rainbow that of the 42nd Division, during World War I.
The motto "LES TERRIBLES" is the nom-de-guerre conferred upon the 127th Infantry during World War I.

Crest: That for the regiments and separate battalions of the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
