John Brockman ( soldier ) John Brockman , Jr . ( May 8 , 1735 – January 31 , 1801 ) was an officer in the North Carolina militia during the American Revolutionary War . Early years . Brockman was born in King and Queen County , Virginia to John and Mary ( Collins ) Brockman , who later moved to Orange County , Virginia . His mother was the daughter of Captain Joseph Collins and Susannah Robertson . John Jr . was the grandson of Samuel Brockman and the great - grandson of Henry Brockman who was a primary founder of the English Brockman family in the United States . John Brockman , Jr . , was orphaned when his father died ; the court appointed a guardian , Kelly Jennings ( second husband of Mary Collins ) , for Brockman ' s younger siblings , but excluded John as he was over the age of 14 . John Brockman , Jr . , married Amelia Martin , the daughter of Robert and Ann ( Eason ) Martin . They lived at " Thornhill " in Orange County , Virginia . American Revolution . During the American Revolutionary War , Brockman has been reputed to be the colonel and leader of " John Brockman ' s Regiment " in the North Carolina militia . In connection with this , there is a record of Brockman ' s supplying the Patriot militia , as certified by the secretary of the North Carolina Historical Commission with 2500 pounds currency . The Daughters of the American Revolution have recorded Brockman as a veteran and participated in unveiling a headstone in his honor . However , records are scarce for revolutionary war era militia . Given Brockman ' s age and wealth , and the fact that he funded the militia it would not have been unusual for him to have been made a titled militia colonel , as opposed to a formal officer . In any event , there do not appear to be formal records indicating that Brockman was colonel in the regular army . If Brockman indeed served in the militia , having come from Caswell County it is likely that he served in the Hillsborough District militia .

Signaculum A signaculum was a lead " dog tag " in a leather pouch carried by Roman soldiers around their neck . It seems to have had personal details ( acting to identify a body the same way a modern dog tag does ) with a seal or stamp to authenticate it . Similar items for identifying civilian goods and equipment have been found as well . Signacula of this variety were not discs that were carried on one ' s person as with the Roman army equivalent , but are more like modern - day product labels , giving information on the item ' s manufacturer and affiliates . History . Although the origins of exactly when or why the Roman army decided to use the signaculum for their soldiers are not clear , there are , regardless , references to its use in some historical documents , which indicate its composition ( lead ) , as well as the fact that it is given after it is determined a man is fit to serve the legion . In a document from 295 , Maximilianus , an early Christian martyr , is being recruited as an officer in the Roman army against his wishes : Other forms . Labels Signaculum also describes the stamps on some Roman Imperial goods , and are used to identify the manufacturer and / or other pertinent facts about the item . Mark of slaves Slaves were also known to wear dog tags on their person , typically in the form of an unremovable metal collar that would be inscribed with messages such as : These , along with branding and tattooing , were common ways for Roman slaves to be separated from the rest of the Roman social system , and easily punishable should they make their escape . Stamps It is possible that signacula that were carried by domestic workers were used as stamps to record usage of tools , and debts from one to another . Replacement by the soldier ' s mark . There is some evidence suggesting that by the time of the late Roman army , it became common practice to instead give soldiers that were found to be fit for service in the legion , an indelible Soldier ' s Mark ; possibly to discourage desertion by making any former or deserting soldiers clearly identifiable in the public . In " De Re Militari " ( 390 AD ) , one of the few writings of Roman military writer Vegetius Renatus , it is stated that , after the initial selection process , a recruit is then placed through a four - month testing period to ensure his physical capability .
Battle of Roan ' s Tan Yard The Battle of Roan ' s Tan Yard ( also known as Silver Creek ) was an action during the American Civil War , occurring on January 8 , 1862 , in Randolph County , Missouri . Rumors and sightings of a Confederate force in the Howard County area had circulated for more than a week , but the Union troops could not locate them . On January 7 , 1862 , information came to hand that Col . John A . Poindexter and his force of 800 Confederate recruits were camped on Silver Creek . Detachments from various Union units came together and headed towards the Confederate camp which was about 14 miles northwest of Fayette . After finding the camp despite heavy fog , the Federal troops attacked in the late afternoon , routing the enemy in only 40 minutes and sending those that were not killed , wounded , or captured fleeing for safety . Two companies of Federal cavalry were ordered to cut off the Confederates ' retreat , but darkness and heavy fog , together with thick underbrush , rendered it impossible . Afterwards , the Union force destroyed the camp to prevent its further use . The Confederates could no longer use their Randolph County base for recruiting and raiding . Forces engaged . " Union " ( 450 men ) " Confederate " ( 800 men )
Boar ' s tusk helmet Helmets using ivory from boar ' s tusks were known in the Mycenaean world from the 17th century BC ( Shaft Graves , Mycenae ) to the 10th century BC ( Elateia , Central Greece ) . The helmet was made through the use of slivers of boar tusks which were attached to a leather base , padded with felt , in rows . A description of a boar ' s tusk helmet appears in book ten of Homer ' s " Iliad " , as Odysseus is armed for a night raid to be conducted against the Trojans . Fragments of ivory which might have come from helmets of this kind have been discovered on Mycenaean sites , and an ivory plaque , also from a Mycenaean site , represents a helmet of this kind . Although they would not provide as good protection as a metal helmet , they may have been worn by some leaders as a status symbol , or a means of identification .
