UNIFORMS IN THE NAVY

Both the officers and the crews of the older
navies used to dress pretty much as they
pleased. In Nelson's time an attempt was made
to get the officers arrayed with some sort of
system but the sailors wore whatever they could

While wearing uniform himself, Nelson was
Jealous In guarding against further encroach-
ments on the sailors prerogative In the matter
OF dress. About the time of the French revo-
luton epaulets began to be worn In continental
navies; at first only on one shoulder, according
to the officers rank. In 1888 Nelson, while in
France wrote to his father:
"Two noble English captains are here. They

Frenchman's uniform"
1t was only few years after this, however,
that Nelson himself was wearing an epaulet not
only on single shoulder, but on both.
