150TH Machine Gun Battalion 42D ‘Rainbow’ Division during World War I |
The 150TH Machine Gun Battalion was organized
from companies and personnel from the Wisconsin National Guard’s 2D
Wisconsin Infantry Regiment on 16 August 1917. The Battalion fought with the 42D
Division in France throughout WWI. After the war, the companies and personnel
were reorganized into the 32D ‘Red Arrow’ Division’s 127TH
Infantry Regiment, which is why the 127TH Infantry’s distinctive
unit insignia includes a small rainbow.
