Only Two Units May Wear Cord
Washington February 25 Only two United States Army units Sanitary Section No 646 and the 103d Aero Squadron have been authorized to wear the French fourragere shoulder cord indicating a unit has been cited for gallantry in action. The War Department circular on uniforms and decorations notes widespread violations and promises stricter enforcement though some exceptions are allowed for discharged personnel and overseas insignia. No POW insignia is authorized. The department expects a pending act may permit indefinite wear for discharged personnel but will not enforce current law.
