Historical Significance: The 'Cactus Division'
Activated on November 15, 1942, the 103rd Infantry Division, known as the 'Cactus Division,' played a crucial role in World War II. Its circular embroidered insignia, featuring a green cactus, yellow, and blue, symbolises their desert training in the American Southwest and challenging combat operations in the Vosges Mountains. Landing in Marseille, France, in October 1944, they fought through the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns, ultimately reaching Innsbruck, Austria, by May 1945, representing the valour and sacrifice of soldiers in the U.S. Seventh Army.
