Army and Navy Uniforms and Insignia How to Know Rank, Corps and Service in the Military and Naval Forces of the United States and Foreign Countries

"Army and Navy Uniforms and Insignia" by Colonel Dion Williams is an early 20th-century handbook that breaks down the details of worldwide military clothing and rank identification, especially in the United States. The guide walks you through where uniforms came from, how they changed over time, the different parts of the uniforms, and what the symbols and rank signs mean. Williams starts by explaining what a "uniform" is and how it brings a sense of unity to military groups. He looks at old armies, like those from Rome and the Middle Ages, to show how uniforms have changed through the years. The book shows how uniforms create order and loyalty in the military and how they stand for honor and history in today's armed forces.
