Historische Context 
The official U.S. Army artillery tradition dates back to 17 November 1775, when Henry Knox was elected colonel of the Regiment of Artillery. According to U.S. Army Ordnance history, the Artillery branch adopted the crossed cannons as its branch insignia in 1834. Army history sources also explain that Field Artillery and Air Defense Artillery share the same heritage, although from 1969 onward the reference to “Artillery” was effectively applied to Field Artillery.

For a WWII impression, this type of insignia is therefore historically very suitable, especially for a classic Field Artillery presentation. The Army’s own uniform history material shows that the crossed cannon motif was already worn on the collar before the war and remained clearly associated with artillery in the early WWII-era uniform tradition. That makes this insignia a very natural choice for a U.S. artillery setup from the Second World War.
