Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ohio Doughboys in Italy The regimental insignia made at Milan and subsequently furnished the 332nd Regiment, bears the famous Lion of St. Mark. St. Mark, who is known as "The Historian of the Resurrection," is the patron saint of Venice, and the "Lion of St. Mark" is his symbol. It is an appropriate symbol, since people in the Middle Ages believed the cub of a lioness was always born dead and after three days the lioness infused breath into the cub. This awakening typified the Resurrection. Since the angels, who are messengers of heaven, are represented as having wings, the lion is winged and represents one who bears good tidings. St. Mark´s body was brought from Alexandria, Egypt, about 828 A. D. It was altogether fitting that the 332nd Infantry, whose field of military operations was almost entirely in the Province of Venezla (Venice), should adopt this symbol as its official regimental insignia.
