Mr. Caraway states that he
will be glad to take up this
matter with the War Depart
ment for any soldier who did
not re.ceive a full equipment on
his discharge. He also states
that soldiers and sailors may

cies within 18 months, if they
care to do so, without exami
nation,- provided their health
is as good as at date of dis
charge. The circular follows:

Any enlisted man who
served in the United States
Army#during the present war,
honorably discharged or fur
loughed to the Reserve since
April 6 1,917, who has re
stored to the Government any
of the above articles,, or to
whom for anyreason they
Were never issued, may make
application for such articles
to the Domestic Distribution
Branch,,, Offide of the Director
of Storage, Washington, D.
C., whereupon similar clothing
and uniform in kind and value,
as near as may be, will be re
turned to ohim. The applica
tion will state sizes required
and will be accompanied by an
affidavit made before any civil
or military officer authorized
to administer oaths, setting
forth the solder’s record of
service since April 6, 1917;
the date and place of his dis
charge or furlough to the Re
serve ;and certifying that
none of the articles applied j
for were retained by him at |
the time of his discharge or
furlough to the Reserve; or,
if retained, that they have |
been restored to the Govern- j
ment. Officers and enlisted!
men who have returned the |
gas mask and helmet mayi
make similar application for
these articles, and they will
be issued if available.
The articles enumerated in
paragraph 2 will be kept on!
hand by each enlisted man
furloughed to the Reserve
since April 6, 1917, and will be
retained by him upon his sepa
ration from active service and

When worn out these artcles
may be discarded.
The act of Congress ap-|
proved February 28, 1919, pro-:
vides that any person who j
served in the United States
Army during the present war.
may wear the uniform after'
discharge provided that it
shall include some distinctive
mark to be prescribed by the |
Secretary of War. The red
chevron hs been prescVibed
to be worn by discharged en
listed men as a recognition of
duties parformed in the service I
of the country. This is now
also designated as the distinc
tive mark required by the be
fore-mentioned act and will
be worn by discharged offi
cers and enlsted men alike.
This also applies to discharged
officers who accept commis-;
sions in the Officers Reserve j
Corps, until called to -active
duty, when the red chevron
will be removed. A chevron
will be worn point up midway
between the elbow and shoul
der on the left sleeve of the
coat and overcoat on the shirt
when worn without the coat.
It is unlawful under the
National Defense Act for the
uniform to be worn by dis
charged officers or enlisted
men without this distinctive
mark, and the offender renders
himself liable to civil prose
cution and punishment by a
fine not exceeding $300 or by
imprisonment not exceeding
six months or by both such
fine or imprisonment. A sup
ply of these chevrons will be
kept on hand at all demobili
zation camps and all quarter
master salesrooms for sale to
honorably discharged officers.
