Item Description
Original Item. Only One Available. The 29th Field Artillery participated with the 4th Infantry Division in the D-Day invasion at Normandy, firing over 10,000 rounds of indirect fire as the Allies advanced into the Cherbourg area. The unit inactivated 14 February 1946 at Camp Butner, North Carolina, was reactivated 15 July 1947 at Fort Ord, California, and once again deactivated 1 April 1957 at Fort Lewis, Washington and relieved from assignment from the 4th Infantry Division.
This is a fantastic hand-painted unit sign for the 29th Field Artillery. The sign is painted green with a red shield with two artillery rounds and a flower painted onto it. The motto “Fidelist Et Verus” (Faithful and True) is painted onto a ribbon below the shield. The board measures 11½ x 16¾”.
The DUI was originally approved for the 29th Field Artillery Battalion on 26 June 1953. It was redesignated for the 29th Artillery Regiment on 14 August 1958. So this painted board dates after that, likely around the Vietnam War.
A Great piece, ready for further research and display!
