will often be able easily TO recognize
men and troops. In addition to these
colors, every branch OF the service
| has It's own device with all OF which
YOU will soon become familiar,
ncgimenial Insignia.

which each man belongs Is on the col

will run In three different series, show
ine whether each regiment was orig
lually a part OF Tho hegular Army, OF
the National Guard, or OF the new Ma
tlonal Army, Tho numbers OF regl-
ments formerly OF the Regular Army
will begin with tho nguro 4 and run
up to figure 400; those OF regiments
formerly IN the National Guard VIII
begin with i0i and run up to 400; those
OF regiments IN the National Army VIII
begin with ngure 30i. The former
National Guard regiments VIII show
also their former state designations
az, for example list Me-, I'D Pa, etc
The device OF regiments OF the new
National Army IN the same way VIII
show the state from which each Or
ganizatlon, or the bulk OF It, was
drawn. az, for example wv, Val
