The now familiar term khaki was first adopted when British troops were campaigning on the Indian frontier. It was found so valuable in assisting its wearers to take cover, and to conceal; their approach from the enemy, that it became a recognized active-service dress during the early Egyptian and Sudan expeditions, just as it was in the European War of 1914 to 1918.

From 1872 up to 1902 officers in the army wore shoulder knots on their dress uniforms, however generals were not authorized to wear them and had to wear a gold bullion epaulet on each shoulder, who would suggest to General Sheridan to not wear them?

Silver wings with G.O.C. (Ground Observer Corps) which was an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force in 1944 and later reactivated in 1950. Our unit in 1958 was in downtown Charleston, South Carolina in an upper story room in the old Slave Market, ironic choice to meet to observe the sky over old Charleston? Our unit was open to all citizens regardless of colour, religion, etc. We spotted airplanes flying over during the evening, saw none that were hostile!
