Draftee's And Yet's Guide To Army Uniforms Through Time
Major Thomas M. Nias traces changes in U S Army uniforms from the Revolutionary War to World War II. He notes homespun early dress, Washington's hunting shirt psychology, blue and red infantry colors, later frock coats, Civil War variety, Prussian influence, olive drab adoption after 1883, khaki use, and World War II practical field uniforms with olive drab and field variants. The piece ends with a reader appeal about service-connected issues.
