Inter-War Years
In 1921 the 94th Division was re-activated as an element of the Organized Reserves ("OR") and nicknamed the "Pilgrim Division" in reference to the rich cultural history. A shoulder sleeve insignia featuring a Native American with bow and arrow was authorized on 21 July 1922. This design was superseded 6 September 1923 by one depicting the black silhouette of a Puritan carrying a blunderbuss on his shoulder, on a gray circle (the wording of the new design's description was amended on 22 December of the same year).
Like the other OR divisions, the 94th was an authorised only a cadre organisation of officers; even then, the OR units were perpetually under-strength and received little equipment or funds with which to train.
