Regimental Distinctive Insignia
The 27th Infantry Regiment consists of two battalions; the 1/27 and 2/27. Although some believe that there are actually two separate distinctive unit insignia (DUI) (aka unit crest) which are issued in pairs, the Wolfhound crests: one for the 1st Battalion Wolfhound unit crest which has the Wolfhound facing to the left and 2nd Battalion Wolfhound crest has the Wolfhound facing to the right on the crest. While in a Class A uniform there are two different crests worn, one on each shoulder with the motto toward the shoulder seam and the head of the Wolfhound facing forward.
