FIRST BATTALION
ADOPTS new NAME
Local Companies of First Rcgi-
nent to Be Known as Rich
mond Grays.

Desiring for many reasons TO be
known hereafter by a distinctive ap-
pe!lation. the officers of the First Bat
TALON, First Regiment, at a meeting
held last night, voted unanimously 10
adopt the name The Richmond
5rays,' TO be hereafter used when the
battalion is referred to. OF course,
Tor official purposes the four Richmond
companies must continue TO be called
the First Battalion, First Regiment,
Just as the Richmond IIowitsers arc
officially Battery a, First Battalion of
Field Artillery.
This move was taken by the officers
with great deal OF enthusiasm, all
seeming to think that II spelled an
added dignity to the battalion. In
the matter of history, the companies
feel that they can show an honorable
record dating from war times, and
that the adoption of this name will
serve to enlist tlit moral and personal
support Of manly CT the older genera
ton who know what the First Regi-
inent did in days of strife.
Titles of Companies.
Company 4 has been carrying the
title of Richmond Grays more thar
hfty years. 3 Company is the Walker
Light Guard. c the Guard of the Com.
monwealth ant L the Anderson Ligh,
Infantry. The name of the Grays wa:
chosen for the battalion because IL car
DC best adapted to the colors which i
is proposed TO be worn.
On this feature. a committee wa.
appointed TO look into a distinctly,
dress uniform for the officers and me,
of the entire battalion. Some sample,
and designs have already been undo
consideration. These uniforms o
sray, would be worn. OH all unotticia
occasions, as are those OF the Blues
but while under orders prescribed b,
the War Department the regular clotn
ing must be used.
The committee viii inquire into IN
cost OF the uniforms ard report OF
ways and means of securing the funds
II Is believed that the First Regimen
