SIGNIFICANCE AND USE OF SERVICE FLAGS,
ROLLS OF HONOR, AND UNIFORMS EXPLAINED

Major Nathan William MacChesney,
department judge advocate, central de-
partment, Chicago, has transmitted to
the Official Bulletin the following mem
orandum:
There have been a large number OF
inquiries at this office with reference to
service flags, rolls of honor, uniforms,
etc, and for general information TO an
swer such questions the following has
been prepared:
Service Flags.
The service flag, while not officially
adopted, is authorized and officially rec.
osnized, and everyone who is entitled
TO fly it is encouraged and urged to do so.
The idea of the service flag is tha,
there shall be star to represent each
person from the family, place Of bust.
ness club, or other entity serving with
the colors. There has recently been
some Indication that this is being
abused. Where the service flag is hung
from the window of home it should
represent only members of the family
from such immediate household and not
employees, domestic or otherwise. Where
it Is hung from a place of business II
should represent employees going from
such place Of business, and where. pre-
sumably some continuous relation eX.
lists and there is am expectation OF re
turn to the employment, The service
flag should not he flown by buildings
hotels, etc, where the only relation is
that Of tenants, etc, but only where
there is some closer relation as indl.
Gated above.
Attention has been called to the fact
that recently service flags have been
flown where the persons represented are
not in fact serving with the colors at
ALL but in various civilian capacities.
However patriotic the motives Of these
persons may be- they are not entitled
to be represented by the service flag,
and such use is am abuse of it. The
essence of military service is that per
sons who wear the uniform subject
themselves to be ordered anywhere
without the right to refuse to 90. such
conditions do not attach to any OF the
various war boards, commissions, civil
ian cmpIoymeuts. etc, ana under no
circumstances should the persons in
such cmployments be represented on
service nags.
Rolls Of Honor.

both must depend for crews for new
