From the site of the 11th Armored Division Association http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/index.htm the CoAs of some Units of the Former Division. The artist is Richard M. Crossett.

"The black and white border denotes the unit’s descent from the 55th Armored Infantry Regiment. That which is with in the border is from the coat if arms of the 55th Armored Infantry Regiment which had as its parent unit the 55th Infantry Regiment of World War I."

"The colors green and white stand for Armor. The two pallets counter-embattled are heraldic symbols in this case for tank tracks. Overall, they form an eleven, the numerical designation of the unit’s parent unit, the 11th Armored Division. Looked at as a green eleven on a white ground over a white eleven on a green ground they signify twenty two, the numerical designation of the battalion. The white of the shield at the top signifies the snows of the Ardennes Campaign: the wavy partition line stands for the Rhine River and the Rhineland Campaign, while the green symbolizes the green fields of Europe and the Central Europe Campaign, all during World War II."

"In the green and white of the Armored Forces the functions of the battalion are allegorically symbolized by the strong arm of the battalion grasping the medieval battle-axe, ready for action in full armor. "

 

http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/images/42nd_Tank.jpg

 

"The charging elephant, equipped with the trappings of war, is the symbol of the tanks as it filled the same position in the armies of ancient days. The motto “Never to the rear” is expressive of the determination of the personnel of the organization never to retreat. The numerical designation is indicated be the four spears and two tusks."

"The colors yellow and green are for Armor. The charging elephant, taken from the shield of the parent organization and placed within a border, indicates descent from the former 42nd Armored Regiment. "

 

http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/images/778_Tank.jpg

 

"The use of the shield of the coat of arms of the 41st Armored Regiment, differenced by a border, indicates descent of the 778th Tank Battalion from the 1st battalion of that organization. The functions of the unit are symbolized by the strong arm grasping the medieval battle-axe, ready for action in full armor. Green and white were the colors of the former Armored Forces; the border is yellow for the present-day Armor."

 

NB the Crest mentioned in the blason for these two Battalions on the 11th Armored Div’s site are the Lexington Minuteman of the US Army Reserve.

"The yellow of the shield is for the Cavalry. The red pile represents the tip of a spear in recognition of the reconnaissance nature of the unit. It also honors the contact of the unit with elements from the 2nd Armored Division at Houffalize, Belgium to complete the entrapment of German units, represented by the black eagle, during the Ardennes Campaign of World War II."

 

NB the pile is in error shown as Vert not Gules. The Jeep should be removed as it does not belong to the arms.

"The star is used to represent the explosion of a shell: the cloud of dust representing the result of the explosion."

 

http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/images/490th_Armored_Fld_Artillery.jpg

 

"In the scarlet and gold of the Field artillery Arms, the chevron symbolizes the wedge formed by the fire of the organization and the three high-explosive shells are representative of the Field Artillery

 

The motto: “Fama Perennis exit” (The fame will be everlasting) expresses the determination of the personnel in the performance of their assigned duties."

"The scarlet is for the Field Artillery. The diagonal bend is the heraldic representation of the scarf of a military commander: the lightning flash denotes speed and striking power. The cannon barrel signifies the Armored Artillery, and the silver star is national identification symbol. The motto is expressive of the characteristics of the personnel and of their certainty of ultimate victory. "

http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/images/575th_Antiaircraft_Artillery.jpg

"The red is for Artillery. The double-headed war axe signifies the dual mission of the battalion as anti-aircraft artillery and as ground support for armor. The arched chief alludes to the sky and the three red pierced stars on the white chief, suggesting shell bursts, stand for the units action in the Ardennes, Rhineland, and Central Europe Campaigns. The number of points on the stars, 5,7,5, indicate the numerical designation of the battalion."

From TIOH the arms of the 75th Cavalry Regiment the successor of the 705th Tank Destroyer Battalion:

 

http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Graphics/75CavRegtCOA.jpg

"Symbolism:

 

Shield: The star is used to represent the explosion of a shell; the cloud of dust representing the result of the explosion.

 

Crest: The regiment’s campaign participation and decorations awarded during World War II are symbolized by the fleur-de-lis.  Unit readiness and cavalry traditions of service in war and peace are recalled by the swords:  the bugle denotes the regiment’s call to arms and its heritage and national history.  Celeste blue represents service overseas; gold denotes excellence.

 

Background: The coat of arms was originally approved for the 705th Tank Destroyer Battalion on 9 July 1942.  It was redesignated for the 330th Mechanized Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron on 9 February 1948.  It was redesignated for the 705th Tank Battalion and amended by the addition of the Organized Reserve Corps crest on 25 July 1952.  The coat of arms was redesignated for the 75th Cavalry Regiment and amended to delete the crest of the Organized Reserve Corps and add a crest on 25 March 2008."

http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/images/492nd_Armored_Fld_Artillery.jpg

492nd Armoured Field Artillery Battalion.

It should be noted that the Shield here shown doesn’t add up to the Blazon which is "Gules, three broad arrows, one over two, all points to chief".

 

"The red is for the Field Artillery. The three gold broad-arrows are an ancient weapon of war thrown from a machine and represent an heraldic symbol of the modern function of the Artillery. The arrows further indicate the three campaigns of World War II in which the unit was a participant: Ardennes, Rhineland, Central Europe. The arrangement alludes to the triangle identification used on armored division vehicles and to the shoulder sleeve insignia of armor divisions."

 

http://www.11tharmoreddivision.com/insignia/units/images/56th_Armored_Eng.jpg

56th Armoured Engineer Battalion.

 

"Shield: Per bend embattled argent and gules, in chief a fir tree eradicated proper and in base a bend wavy azure fimbriated of the first.

 

Crest: On a wreath of the colors argent and gules a dexter arm embowed, armored or, fist proper, clutching a lightning flash fesswise of the second.

 

Motto: Arte et Animo (By Stratagem and Courage).

 

Symbolism: The colors red and white represent the Corps of Engineers. The embattled partition line represents the Combat Engineers, as well as the "Dragon’s Teeth" fortifications of the German Siegfried Line. The fir tree on white background represents the forests and snow of the Ardennes campaign. The blue wavy bend encompassed by dual white wavy bends represents the rivers Rhine and Danube, symbolic of both the Rhineland and Central Europe campaigns."
