A retrospective on World War I division insignia and the controversy over wearing patches on return to the United States. It recalls how the War Department prohibited insignia, the public outcry, and the rationale for preserving divisional identity and morale among doughboys returning home.
A fragmented wartime note details division emblems and nicknames. It describes Sixth Division’s red six pointed star and various insignia such as Seventh’s hourglass, Eighth’s Pathfinder symbol, Twenty-fifth Yankee Diamond, Twenty-seventh Orion circle, Twenty-eighth keystone, Twenty-ninth blue and gray, Thirtieth Old Hickory with Os, Thirty-first Dixie triangle, Thirty-second forward arrow, Thirty-third prairie cross, and Thirty-fourth desert division flask emblem.
A survey details shoulder insignias for divisions such as Sunset and Rainbow from several states. It notes symbols like the Liberty Bell for the 75th, the Statue of Liberty for the 77th, a Lorraine cross for the 79th, and a blue ridge peaks for the 80th, with origin states and notable units.
A long, fragmented reminiscence blending Wordsworth quotes with anecdotes on life discipline and restraint. The作者 muses on the ease of success versus failure, the perils of overindulgence, and moral reflections from aging. It cites Fort Sumter firing, Civil War memory, and notes a health habit with mineral oil and agar.
An elderly woman laments severe scalp itching and hair loss, recalling ineffective remedies before trying Cuticura Soap and Ointment ads.
