Badges of Distinction From Army Headquarters
A circular from the army headquarters of the Wotoimac prescribes badges for officers and enlisted men of all regiments in every corps. Badges are worn on the cap to aid recognition and prevent misidentification during reports of misconduct. Each corps or division has specific shapes and color schemes, with details for corps eleven and twelve and others continuing similarly. The Chief Quartermaster must furnish the badges and inspectors ensure proper wear. The rule aims to reduce cowardly straggling during battle and improve discipline.
