Why Not Regimental Nicknamesp
From Army and Navy Life.

From Army and Navy Life.
Let US give q name as we'll as a number
to the regiment. Nothing adds so much to
the esprit of a corps as pride in its past, not
only among Its members but also in the
community from which 1t was drawn This
was shown in many instances during the
civil war, Notwithstanding the life of the
regiment was short. Many of our regular
regiments hold most enviable records, of
which the country may justly feel proud,
but, being designated by numbers only
they are not stamped with an individuality
in the minds OF the people, and In q short
time their histories become commingled,
even in the army. There are few men or
women in the land who do not know that
the Rough Riders and the list New
York" were at Santiago, but probably not
one in five hundred can designate any reg
ular regiment that participated in that cam
paign. This is not because the regulars
failed, for Ell Caney and San Juan Hill
because numbers do not appeal to the Inn
agination or imprint themselves on the
memory like names. and as time passes the
mind becomes confused as to the former.
Let US suppose that the It'll Infantry had
been recruited in Virginia and known as
the Scott Foot, is 1t likely that its heroisfn
at Ell Caney would now be among things
forgotten? The navy was wise in naming
it's ships after states and cities. Let us
name our regiments after our dead military
heroes or after battles where they achieved
special distinction. These names will soon
become associated with the districts from
which the regiments are recruited and
Ohio will vie with Tennessee In making the
Sheridan Horse the equal of the Jackson
Foot. We are far enough away from the
civil war to use the name Of q Lee or a
Stuart.
