    1st Armored Division

    Fort Bliss, Texas - 1918: WWI Tank Corps Insignia Shoulder Patch
    This triangle symbolized an old heraldic element of armorial design known as a Pile -- the head of a spear. Tanks were actually the spearhead element in the engagements in which they took part in World War I. It included the three branch colors; blue for infantry, red for artillery, and yellow for cavalry – representing the three combat arms of the Army and components of Armor. Part of the 1st Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum collection. (Image courtesy of the 1st Armored Division & Fort Bliss Museum)
