Naval and military uniforms are of much more modern origin than is generally supposed. There was no regulation uniform for the British Navy until the reign of George III., and military uniform in England may be said to date from the establishment of a regular army on the restoration of Charles II. The use of badges is much older, and indeed may be said to go back to the very beginning of organised warfare. It was reduced to some- thing like a system in the middle ages, and the whole art of heraldry was originally nothing more than the regulation of the badges of rank to be worn by nobles, knights and men-at-arms, and of the devices to be displayed on their banners and shields. At an early period one hears of the followers of a noble or knight wearing his livery, that is a dress displaying colours taken from his armorial bearings, and in the reign of Henry VIII. a livery or uniform was appointed for the royal bodyguard, When the royal army was formed under Charles II., the colours chosen for the uniform were those of the royal liveries, red and blue The red coat with blue facings is still the standard uniform of *‘ Royal” Regiments, and red became the usual uniform of British troops. For along time the only regiment wearing any other colour was the Royal Horse Guards, still popularly known as “The Blues,” and originally the third troop of the Household Cavalry. A new type of uniform still peculiar to our Army was adopted when, in 1839, the local companies of the ‘ Black Watch ” were formed into the first of our Highland regiments, the 42nd Foot, now known as the Royal Highlanders. The uniform was an adaptation ofthe old Highland cestume, and the various regiments. are distinguished by their tartans. Most of these are clan patterns, but the 42nd commanded by a Lowland officer, the Earl of Crawford, was given a regimental tartan invented for the occasion, A third type of infantry uniform was adopted in the second half of the eighteenth century, when the “Royal American Regi- ment” was raised for service against the French on the frontiers of our New England colonies, The men were armed with the rifle and trained for skirmishing in the woods. They were given a green uniform on the same principle on which khaki is now the war dress of our men. The “Royal American Regiment” is now the ‘ King’s Royal Rifles,” and green is still the full-dress uniform colour of all our rifle regiments.BADGES AND UNIFORMS. 8 There has always been a much greater yariety in cavalry than in infantry uniforms, and the changes in it have been more frequent. In former days the choice of uniforms was otten left to be regulated by the fancies of a wealthy colonel. The Prince Regent, afterwards George IV., had a royal taste for display, and devoted a good deal of attention to inyenting brilliant cavalry uniforms. We owe it to him that the Household Cavalry wear as their peace uniform the helmet and cuirass, which were adopted after Waterloo.* It was in 1817 that he made another change in our cavalry uniform and equipment by conyerting several regiments of Light Dragoons into Lancers, wearing an adaptation of the Polish national costume. Before this date, another national costume had been chosen as the uniform of the Hussar regiments. The Hussars were originally the irregular cavalry of the Hungarian Army, and an adaptation of the Hungarian horseman’s dress gradually became the distinctive uniform of light cavalry regiments in most European armies. We may say that the four branches of our cavalry are distinguished amongst other things by their head-dress) The Household Cavalry and the Dragoons wear two markedly different types of helmets. The Lancers wear the Polish cap or schapka, and the Hussars the busby, originally the Hungarian fur cap. ‘The dull brown khakit uniform was first adopted by some of our regiments in India, partly as a better colour for a hot climate, partly for greater facility in taking cover among the sun-scorched rocks of the frontier district. It eame into general use as a war-dress in our Egyptian and Soudan campaigns. The marvellous progress of the last few years in the range, rapidity and accuracy of fire from every kind of weapon has now made cover all-important in war, with the result that all armies have adopted dull-coloured uniforms. The battle-line is no longer a brilliant spectacle, but war has become a dull matter-of-fact scientific business. So with the coming of khaki every scrap of bright colour or metal has disappeared from the war uniform, Indeed much ingenuity has been exerted in devising badges of rank which were only recognisable at close quarters, and efforts are made to disguise at a distance all distinctions between officers and men. In the higher ranks the plumed head-dress is only worn in full uniform in time of peace. The epaulette, a kind of shoulder knot of gold lace, used to be the mark of the officer both in the Army and Navy. In the Army it was abolished after the Crimean War. Armny badges of rank for the commissioned grades are * The cost of a Lifeguardsman's full-dress uniform for a trooper is over £30. + Khaki is an Eastern word meaning earth-colour or dust-colour.4 BADGES AND UNIFORMS, now an arrangement of small stars and crowns worn on the uniform, with the crossed baton and sword as the badge of a general's rank. ‘The non commissioned ranks are distinguished by chevrons of braid worn on the arm. In both the Navy and Army another class of badges has come into use in recent years, indicating skill at arms or assign- ment to special duties. A third class of badges are those which denote the arm of the service or the regiment to which the wearer belongs. Many of these regimental badges have an historic interest. Thus, for instance, the badge of the sphinx tells of service in Egypt, in most cases in Abercromby’s campaign in the great French War, The elephant or the tiger indicates regiments which originally belonged to the Army of the old East India Company. Other badges commemorate special exploits of the regiments to which they belong. The eagle badge of the Royal Dragoons and the Royal Irish Fusiliers tells of the capture of French eagles in the war with the Great Napoleon. The Gloucesters have the special distinction of wearing the regimental badge both on the back and front of the cap. ‘This commemorates a famous exploit of the regiment at Alexandria under Abercromby, when they were surprised by French cavalry, and though they had no time to form square, beat off the charge, the rear rank facing about and the men fighting back to back. An interesting survival of a detail in uniform which has been handed down from earlier times, is the so-called “flash” worn by the Weish Fusiliers of to-day. This consists of a few lengths of black ribbon or similar material emerging from beneath the back of the tunic collar, and dates from the period when perukes were worn by soldiers of the line. Its threatened suppression by the War Office recently aroused so much opposition from those entitled to wear it, that its continued use has been eventually granted. Considerable interest was aroused on the formation of the new regiment of Welsh Guards, as to what badge would be chosen as characteristic of the Principality—the dragon, daffodil or leek. The last named has now been adopted, together with the moito, “Cymru am Byth” (“Wales for ever”). Officers of the Imperial Overseas Contingents wear badges of rank similar to those in the British Army, but Regimental Badges of various design are also worn, and many regiments have their own mottoes—in the case of the New Zealand Forces these are frequently in the Maori tongue. The uniform of the Royal Flying Corps, the latest branch of the military service, is still in the experimental stage, and thereBADGES AND UNIFORMS, 5 have already been several variations in its patterns and badges. The men wear a khaki-coloured undress uniform, with the coat cut in Lancer pattern, so that there is a double thickness of cloth across the chest. The mechanics of the corps when at work wear blue engineers’ overalls, with a forage cap, the flaps of which can be pulled down and fastened under the chin, All nayal uniforms are of much more recent origin than those of the Army. It was not until 1795 that the first regulations were issued for the uniform of officers of the Navy. The epaulette, still used in full-dress, was then appointed as their dis- tinctive mark. Nayal rank for commissioned officers is now indicated by bands of gold on the cuff. “The curl,” a loop of gold braid above the bands on the cuff, is the mark of combatant rank and executive command. It was only recently that it was conceded to the engineer officers. In addition, stripes of various coloured cloth worn between the gold bands distinguish the officers of the various branches ; thus, purple is worn by the Engineer branch, red by the Medical, white by the Accountants and light blue by the Naval Instructors. Long after there was a regulation uniform for the officers there was no distinctive dress for the men. In Nelson’s days, on board a British warship, uniform was worn only by the officers and the detachment of the Royal Marines serving on board, The captain of each ship dressed the crew of his “gig ”—the boat in which he went ashore—in a kind of a uniform, often of a very fanciful pattern. The men wore the clothes they brought with them, but a rough kind of uniform arese from sailors adopting much the same kind of dress, and from the clothes sold to the men by the purser being of much the same pattern on any given ship. It was only after the end of the long war that regulations were issued for the dress of the seamen. Blue is the ordinary colour of naval uniform—but in the tropics and in summer a white dress is worn. ‘Che colour of the badges worn on the sleeve varies according as the dress is the blue, full-dress or working kit, or the white summer kit The latest badges of the various grades and employments in the Royal Naval Air Service are shown on the page devoted to this branch of the service. The Royal Marines wear a military uniform, red for the Royal Marine Light Infantry and blue for the artillery. Hence the popular description of the Service, as the Red and the Blue Marines, Khaki has become the war service dress of both branches when they are employed with troops or on garrison duty in hot countries.(6) RANK AND WHAT IT MEANS, NAVY. THE MILITARY BRANCH. ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET,—The Rank of Admiral of the Fleet is conferred by the Sovereign, and at the present time is held by but three individuals, They are seldom eniployed on duties afloat. ADMIRALS, VICE-ADMIRALS and REAR-ADMIRALS fly flags on their vessels (known as ‘‘flag-ships”) as follows: an Admiral, Si. George's Cross on a plain white ground, a Vice-Admiral the same but with a red ball in the top quarter of the hoist, and a Rear-Admiral with two balls, one in each quarter of the hoist, The two former bave command usually of a fleet, a Rear-Admiral that only of a squadron, COMMODORE.—Commodores are usually employed ashore filling such posts as Officers in Command of Naval Barracks, etc. ‘The rank is not a ‘manent one and is usually conferred upon a Captain. If employed afloat it is probably upon some special mission, CAPTAIN.—Captains are generally in command of the most important warships, and occasionally of small squadrons in the absence of Admirals. COMMANDER .—Usually a Commander is in command of one of the smaller ships, or Second-in-Commuand to the Captain of a larger ship. His duties are exceedingly rous, and the responsibility for the ship's routine, efficiency and discipline. is largely in his hands. LIEUTENANT-COMMANDER is a new rank recently instituted by the Admiralty, which Lieutenants of eight years’ seniority automatically attain. LIEUTENANT,—The Lieutenant is generally a highly-trained specialist in either Nayivation, Gunnery or Torpedo warfare, in any of which cases he may be responsible (under the captain) ior that special department of work. Torpedo craft are ustially in charge of a Lieutenant. A ‘Flag-Lieutenant” is exclusively employed by the Admiral, and might be called his “right-hand man,” whilst amongst other things he has to be a ‘‘Signal Specialist.” SUB-LIEUTENANT,—The Sub-Lieutenant usually controls the ‘‘gun+ room” where the rest of the Junior Officers and Midshipmen mess. He also takes a ‘‘watch” under the supervision of a Lieutenant, MATES promoted from the lower deck rank with Sub-Lieutenants. MIDSHIPMAN.—After spending four years as 2 Naval Cadet ashore, the Midshipnian, as he then becomes, is sent afloat, first for some months in a cruiser and then for a longer period in a larger vessel. During this time he is receiving instruction in seamanship, navigation, gunnery, ete., ete., and after three years emerges as a full-blown Sub-Lieutenant PETTY-OFFICERS and MEN.—These fall under so many ratings that space does not permit of a description of their various duties here. The number of distinctive badges worn, to be found on pp. 16-20, offers, however, a striking proof of the wide ramifications covered by the term ‘The British Navy,’ and stows how well deserved is the description “handy man,” as applied to those who help to compose that wonderfully complex organization, THE CIVIL BRANCH. + ENGINEERING BRANCH,—May be reckoned as next to, if not equal in importance to the Executive. Nowadays, when warships partake more of the nature of huge fighting machines than of ships, the multitudinous duties of the less spectacular arm of the service is obvious. There may be as many as fifty boilers to be maintained in an efficient state, the use and replenishment of coal stores to be watched, turbine or other engines to be kept running smoothly, while capstans, steering-gear, dynamos, and the hull of the ship itself have tobe kept in good order, so that as a fighting unit, the vessel is always in a state of perfect readiness to give a good account of hersel MEDICAL BRANCH.—The highest grade officers of this branch are usually employed ashore, or in visits of inspection to the various fleets and Naval hospitals. A Fiect-Surgeon is in supreme control of the medical heers now form part of the ‘Military! Arm, {Under an Order in Council of 1915 EngineerRANK AND WHAT IT MEANS. 7 arrangements on board a ship, having under him probably two other Surgeons as well as Sick Berth Stewards, Operating-Room and Laboratory Attendants, and Masseurs. ACCOUNTANT BRANCH,—Consists mainly of Paymasters of various grades, whose duties, as theit name suggests, aré to act as bankers and pay- distributors every month on their respective ships, The ships’ books have to be scrupulously kept, and the messing of all the officers and crew is controlled by the paymaster through his staff of Ships’ Stewards, Cooks, &e, Numerous “Clerks” and “‘ Writers” assist in duties which fall under this heading. The highest grades are usually employed on Administrative work ashore, Admirals’ Secretaries are chosen from this branch. NAVAL INSTRUCTOR BRANCH.—This is the educational department of the Navy, a highly organised teaching staff, which now that naval war is becoming more and more a matter of applied science and engineering, includes specialists in a very wide range of subjects, ARMY. GENERAL OFFICERS—FIELD MARSHAL, —The Field Marshal's rank is the highest among general officers The rank is conterred for eminent military services, and the bearer of it remains on the active list and draws full pay of his rank as long as he lives. In our army the rank is usually bestowed on yeteran generals late in life. GENERALS,—Generals are the officers in command of an army or any of its larger units, such as Army Corps, Divisions and Brigades. Generais also are appointed to the command and general supervision of the artillery and engineers of a large foree, and the rank of General is bestowed on senior officers in the Army Medical Corps and other auxiliary services. ‘There are four grades of the rank—General, Lieutenant-General, Major-General and Brigadier-General, Since in regimental rank the major is two grades above the Lieutenant, it seems at first sight strange that the Lieutenant-General should hold a higher rank than the Major-General. The explanation is that if one takes the historical origin of these titles the LIEUTENANT-GENERAL is the assistant of the full General, as in a regiment, the lieutenant comes next to the captain, In the title MAJOR-GENERAL, Major was originally the substantive, and General the adjective. Later on Major-General became the title of the lowest grade of officers holding permanent General’s rank. BRIGADIER-GENERAL,—In our Army the rank of Brigadier-General is not a permanent and substantive one, In fact, Brigadier-Generals are in many, erhaps in most eases, Colonels or Lieut.Colonels, appointed for the time Being to the command of a brigade, While in this position, they wear the badges of this temporary rank and draw special pay and allowances, STAFF OFFICERS,—The term Staff Officer has two meanings. It is sometimes used to denote the officers of a regiment who are not doing duty with companies or squadrons, but assisting the Colonel in his command, and thus includes the majors and adjutant, But in its more correct sense the word Siaff Officer means an officer not attached to any regiment, but employed in connection with the command of an army or otte of its higher units, or on some special duty. ‘The group of officers who assist a General in bis work are described as his staff, and the General himself is a Staff Officer, COLONEL.—The next rank below the General is that of Colonel, In our ‘Army at the present day the Colonel of a regiment is a title conferred upon somé distinguished officer, often of General’s rank—the actual commander is a LIEUTENANT-COLONEL—except in the artillery and engineers there are no Colonels holding resimental rank and doing active duty. The rank of Colonel is conferred” pon the holders of various Staff appointments, or given by brevet to a Lieutenant-Cotonel for distinguished service, MAJOR.—The next grade to Colonel and Lieutenant-Colonel is that of Major. An infantry battalion has two majors to assist the Lieut.-Colonel com manding, and the commander of a battery of artillery often has the rank of Major. ADJUTANT.—This is not a rank, that is, it is only held while the officer is8 RANK AND WHAT IT MEANS. performing his duties. He may be a Captain or Licutenant in his regiment, and he acts as a kind of secretary to the officer commanding the unit, seeing to the general routine of the regiment and the issue of the orders, which he signs. CAPTAIN and LIEUTENANTS,—The Captain is the commander of one of the minor units of the regiment—the company or squadron, and in the artillery, the battery. In the new infantry organisation, in which the battalion is divided into four companies, each company is commanded by a Senior Captain, with a Junior Captain as a second-in-command, If there is the full complement of officers te the company, there are also four subalterns, that is Lieutenants and Second-Lieutenants, Each of these has command of a platoon, which is a fourth part of a company, BREVET RANK,—Brevet rank is rank held by promotion for distinguished service to a higher grade irrespective of there being any vacancy. It is army rank, not regimental rank. ‘Thus for instance, a Captain promoted by brevet to the rank of Major acts as a Captain while with his regiment. but while detached from it for Staff duty or any special service ranks as Major. ‘WARRANT and NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICERS. —The higher grades of Non-Commissioned Officers, such as the Sergeant-Major of a regiment, hold warrants appointing them to their rank, and are classed as Warrant-Officers, The lower grades are appointed by their commanding officer naming them as regimental officers. The lowest non-commissioned rank is that of LANCE CORPORAL, who is practically a private selected and qualified for further promotion when a vacancy arises. Generally speaking the CORPORAL may be described as the commander of a squad, and the SERGEANT as the commander of a section or similar small unit in a regiment, The COLOUR SERGEANTS were form rly the specially selected guard for the regimental colours in action. They are now the Seuior Sergeants of the company. In the new infantry organisation each company has a COMPANY SERGEANT- MAJOR. who is its senior non-commissioned officer, and a COMPANY QUARTERMASTER-SERGEANT, among whose duties are to keep the records of the company. The senior sergeant of a platoon is known as the PLATOON SERGEANT, and acts as its second-in-command. ‘The QUARTERMASTER of a regiment is a commissioned rank, frequently bestowed on one of the senior non-commissioned officers. His duty is to attend to the quartering, supply and transport of the regiment. VARIOUS ARMS. ARMY SERVICE CORPS.—In our Army, the duties of transport and supply are carried out by the Army Service Corps, which provides the army in the field with food, forage and fuel, and with its horse and mechanical transport, assists in the supply of ammunition and many other requirements. ORDNANCE CORPS.—The Ordnance Corps, whose duties were once limited to the supply of arms and ammunition, now supplies from its stores and depots everything that does not come under the head of ** food, forage and fuel.” It is the universal provider of an army in the field. ROYAL ARMY MEDICAL CORPS.—The Royal Army Medical Corps has not only the cate of the wounded in action, but supervises the whele sanitary condition of the troops in the field. ROYAL VETERINARY CORPS.—The Royal Veterinary Corps, in the same way, looks after the horses of the army, ‘CHAPLAINS.—The Chaplain’s Department provides chaplains for the troops, either from the regular establishment for Chaplains holding permanent commissions, or by procuring the services of additional Chaplains in time of war, ROYAL ARMY PAY CORPS.—The Royal Army Pay Corps keeps the accounts ofan Expeditionary Force, provides money for the payment of the troops, and is responsible for the money provided for general expenses in the field, ROYAL FLYING CORPS,—The Royal Flying Corps was first employed in the field in the present war, and already has a record of magnificent skill and daring, and of most valuable services rendered to our armies in the field. It is a link between the army and navy, for there is a similar naval establish- ment, and the two wings work together.- NAVY - ° MILITARY BRANCH—OFFICERS - RAL & ADMIRAL VICE-ADMIRAL QbORE st Ol.
