(More customer reviews)"GREETINGS & SALUTATIONS!" "ARMY and NAVY INFORMATION" by Major D.W.C. Falls was the forerunner of similiar reference books on insignia and uniforms of the First World War, also known as the Great War! It is 4-3/4" X 7" size, handy for slipping into the back pocket or a purse. We start with Plate 1 that shows Army Flags and Signals, something too often not near as complete or simply left out in other similiar publications. Olate 2 shows details of uniforms of the Army of the United States such as rank straps, collar rank and branch insignia, etc., as well as collar disks for other ranks too. Plate 3 shows Naval Flags and SignalsPlate 4 shows the sleeve stripes of naval officers as well as their rank marks, often known as shoulder boards, included are U.S. Marine Corps insignia too! Plate 5 shows gorget patches and caps as well as flags of the British and Germanis armies. Plate 6 treats the reader to the Medal of Honor, both Navy and Army types as well as the Dewey Medal and a Sampson Medal too as well as a Spanish Campaign Meal and the service ribbon bars starting from the 1861-1865 U.S. Civil War Campaign, (native American) Indian Wars and Service, Cuban and Puerto Rican Occupation, USMC and USN Good Conduct Medal ribbons, etc. The line drawings of Marine, Sailors, and Soldiers are really outstanding! This a "MUST HAVE" book for your own library, so much in such a well-informed and nicely illustrated book! Sarge Booker of Tujunga, California [See the scans of pages to see and judge for yourself!]
