SOLDIER STRIPES AND
CHEVRONS EXPLAINED
Public Anxious to Know What Gold
and Silver Bars on Sleeves
Stand For

Chevrons, insignia, hatcords, vari-
GUS parts of the uniform and leggings
as are worn by soldiers returning
home after having been honorably
discharged are puzzling to those not
familiar with military regulations
The misuse and abuse of various
army regulations regarding dress
serve to arouse curiosity on the part
of civilians and interest on the part
of soldiers.
The wearing of overseas caps, the
small olive drab pointed skull cap,
by men who have not been overseas
is not only in violation to regulation
but displays great disrespect towards
Americans who have seen foreign
service on French, English, Belgian,
Italians, Siberian and other fields. It
robs them Of distinctive and signi-
ficant privilege to which only they
are entitled and which million or
more Buddies regret they couldn't
earn to deserve.
Overseas soldiers also have the
privilege of wearing what are
known as wrap leggings" or spiral
leggings." The wearing of such leg
gings is prohibited in camps and can
tonments and soldiers are often
stopped by Military Police in many
cities for wearing them. However,
many enlisted men wear wrap leg
gings available to them for dress
wear
Service chevrons and wound stripes
are of Importance. Overseas men
wear on their left arm a gold "
shaped stripe for each six months of
service cover there" and blue stripe
for each period less than SIX months
and more than three months. Sol
diers who served in their home coun
try may wear silver stripe for each
six months period but none has been
prescribed for service of less than six
months. The war department recent
ly ordered that every discharged man
be supplied with two scarlet chevrons
to be worn on their left sleeve to
show service to their country. This
order is understood by some to mean
that they are to be worn on the sleeve
Of civilian coats.
Wound stripes are gold V-shaped
bars worn, one for each time wound
ed, on the right sleeve.

charged soldiers designate their
