Scarlet and yellow are the colors used for Field Artillery. The canton with mullet and fishhook refers to the 5th Field Artillery from which the 13th Field Artillery was organized in June 1917. The bend is taken from the arms of Lorraine, where the heaviest fighting of the regiment occurred. The broken howitzer alludes to the Vesle River, where heavy losses were sustained and the two pieces put out of action by direct hits. The dragon commemorates a march from Esnes to Malincourt during the night of September 26-27, 1918, over very difficult terrain and against resistance. The dragon, a mythical animal, typifies the inferno prevailing that night. | Scarlet and yellow are the colors used for Field Artillery.
