It would never be allowed in today’s PC climate.
I know in WWII the 29th Infantry Division was named the Stonewall Division, loosely tracing it’s lineage back to Jacksons Army of the Shenandoah.
I don’t know if that would be allowed today.
The world has gone mad and I have, sorrowfully, lived to witness it.
I made a mistake.
The 116th Brigade of the 29th was known as the Stonewall Brigade.
The 29th was known as the Blue and Gray Division.
They say the memory is the first thing to go and mine has been leaving for some time now.
The 29th ID’s First Brigade (now called the 116th Infantry Brigade, Virginia Army National Guard) is still called the Stonewall Brigade, tracing its lineage back through the 116th Infantry Regiment (of Omaha Beach fame) to at least some of the Virginia infantry regiments of the original Stonewall Brigade. They used to have a shoulder patch of Jackson on his horse but now they wear the 29th’s blue-and-gray yin-yang. I don’t know when they last wore the Jackson insignia, I had a friend join the National Guard way back in the mid-80s and he was in the 116th, and they wore the 29th ID patch.
