audiobook A Little Commonwealth; Family Life in Plymouth Colony by John Demos in History

Description

The following pages were prepared; not only for those in the Military and Naval Service; but also for the Laymen who; since the beginning of the war; have shown such a keen interest in the uniforms; insignia; and customs of our fighting forces. The information was all obtained from official sources and every effort has been put forth to make it as correct and as complete as possible. Special stress has been laid on the insignia of rank; which has been shown in the most minute detail. It is hoped that every man; both old and new in the service; will find this volume useful in recognizing the various insignia and uniforms of his own and sister services and of the foreign Armies and Navies; which he meets from day to day. The chapters on the organization of our Army and Navy; the duties of the officers and men; as well as the composition of the various units; should prove particularly interesting at this time. Those on the customs of the service were written especially for men who have lately entered; or who contemplate entering; the military or naval life and who wish to become familiar with the etiquette and customs peculiar to such a life.
