Brass Buttons No More,

The Grenadiers and some OF the
other British guard battalions are now
giving up the brass letters on their
shoulder straps and wearing instead
the name of their regiment worked in
cotton on cloth. as the men of the
Royal Flying corps have always done
The guards are also to have the brass
buttons on their tunics replaced with
bone buttons. and the practice may be
extended throughout the army.
The soldiers will not be at all sorry,
as they have to spend a good deal Of
elbow grease In keeping the brass
shiny. The change Is being made not
because England is running short of
brass. but because experience has
shown that the metal shines in the
sunlight. and catches the eye of the
enemy's snipers.
