40th Regiment?

The 40th Armor Regiment has another interesting thing I would like to look at. It was formed at Camp Beauregard, Louisiana on April 15th 1941 as the 4th Armor Regiment but quickly renamed the 40th Armor Regiment on May 8, 1941.

Unlike the 1st Armor Regiment it did not take the history of the like numbered Cavalry Regiment.Or did it?

Robert E. Lee's last command before leaving the Union was the 4th Cavalry Regiment.The regimental coat of arms has a Tyrannosaurus Rex on it. The motto for the State of Virginia is SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS.
