The 93rd Infantry Division was a "colored" segregated unit of the United States Army in World War I and World War II. However, in World War I only its four infantry regiments, two brigade headquarters, and a provisional division headquarters were organized, and the divisional and brigade headquarters were demobilized in May 1918. Its regiments fought primarily under French command in that war. During tough combat in France, they soon acquired from the French the nickname Blue Helmets (French: Casques Bleus), as these units were issued horizon blue French Adrian helmets. This referred to the service of several of its units with the French Army during the Second Battle of the Marne. Consequently, its shoulder patch became a blue French helmet, to commemorate its service with the French Army

  • La 93rd Infantry Division (93ª Divisione di fanteria) è stata una divisione di fanteria dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti, formata inizialmente solo da soldati afroamericani e poi mista, che ha partecipato alla Prima, alla seconda guerra mondiale. Attivata provvisoriamente per la prima volta nel 1917 come 93d Division (Provisional) non partecipò come divisione a nessuna battaglia ma le sue unità furono invece messe a disposizione dell'esercito francese. I francesi riorganizzarono ed equipaggiarono i soldati statunitensi mentre la divisione venne disattivata nel maggio 1918 (it)
