Two Unknown DIs, possibly Maryland related?

[vzemke]

Unless I'm reading them wrong, these are not showing up in the ASMIC charge catalogue, ASMIC motto listing, or the Army motto listing on line.

 

I'm pretty sure they are Maryland related. Possibly state guard?

 

The motto on the left is "Oer The Ramparts We Watch"

 

Thanks,

Vance

Hi Vance,

 

The one on the right is for the 110th FA MD NG. I'm guessing the other one is also Artillery.

 

Regards

Mike

The one on the left is the 70th Artillery (AAA) NG MD (Baltimore Def)

ASMIC 70B1 AAA catalog

 

this piece was also worn by the 683 AAA Bn.

The 70th AAA Bn, Baltimore, was formerly the 70th Maryland State Guard. After WW II it became the 70th Air Defense Artillery Bn Maryland National Guard. No longer, though. The 110th Field Artillery Battalion, 29th Infantry Division MD ARNG, is now the 110th Information Operations Battalion. Just to add some more depth to the discussion.
