Whereas I got my commission and my wife; Feeny, honorable wounds and mention and the chevrons of a first sergeant; Costigan got his sergeant's stripes and the medal of honor, Murphy his sergeantcy, Walsh and Latham medals and corporalships; and the only fellow who didn't get a blessed thing but scars was the commanding lieutenant, your worthy self, thanks to wiseacres at Washington who say Indian fighting isn't war."
I told him about 'The Man Behind the Gun, and he says you must come in your make-up as 'Lieutenant Hardy, U. S. A., just as he'll see you on the screen." Mr. St. Clair stammered delightedly. "In uniform," he protested; "won't that be " "White, special full dress," insisted Billy. "Medals, side-arms, full-dress belt, and gloves. What a press story!
On the same occasion another of these special medals was bestowed on Cyrus Field and the Anglo-American Telegraph Company. In 1868, he introduced it into Holland; and in 1869, into Bavaria and Wurtemburg, where he obtained the Noble Order of St. Michael. In 1870, he also installed it in Switzerland and Belgium.

The service hat should be worn in the regulation shape, peaked, with four indentations, and with hat cord sewed on. Do not cover it with pen or pencil mark.

Chevrons, service stripes, and campaign medals and badges are a part of the uniform and must be worn as prescribed.
Three days before, when Prince Arthur of Connaught had come to tea, a shell had hit outside the colonel's private cave, and smashed all the teacups. It is extremely annoying when English royalty drops in sociably to distribute medals and sip a cup of tea to have German shells invite themselves to the party. It is a way German shells have. They push in everywhere.
It is said, too, that the Fathers run that big shop yonder, just across the street, which supplies all the petty dealers in the town.
