Field officers wore four flaps and buttons, captains wore three, lieutenants wore two. The lace was of yellow colour (infantry, white). In addition, there was on the cuffs a slashflap with several horizontal rows of lace with a button on the outer ends. The so-called "passants", shoulder straps holding the epaulets, were used to develop a new system of rank insignia. For the first time, a fatigue or undress uniform was introduced. The grade of adjutant was abolished and the lieutenant grade separated into two grades (first and second lieutenant). In order that the rank insignia would be clearly discernible, they were of the opposite color that is, the infantry colonels had an eagle of gold because it was placed on a silver epaulet and all other colonels had silver eagles on gold epaulettes. The epaulettes worn by the infantry were silver, while all other branches had gold epaulettes.
In 1832, epaulettes were specified for all officers (see above). Captains a single epaulet on the right shoulder, lieutenants on the left shoulder. Colonels wore the silver eagle (infantry: gold) insignia as well, lieutenant colonel and major identic plain gold (infantry: silver) epaulets. General staff, artillery, engineer and field officers wore bullion fringed epaulets: Generals with silver eagle insignia and one or two five-pointed stars, depending on rank. All company officers wore dark blue "wings" with gold (infantry: silver) fringes and Embroidery. Adjutants were indicated by a single point up gold (infantry: silver) lace chevron and arc on both upper sleeves, captains the same but no arcs, lieutenants wore the chevrons on the lower sleeves. Field officers wore two epaulettes, captains one epaulette on the right shoulder, subalterns one epaulette on the left shoulder.ġ821–1832: chevrons or epaulettes įrom 1821 to 1832, the Army used chevrons to identify company officer grades, a practice that is still observed at West Point for cadet officers. In 1780, regulations prescribed fringed epaulettes for all officer ranks, with silver stars for general officers. Infantry officers had silver and other branches gold insignia.
Later on in the war, the Continental Army established its own uniform with a black and white cockade among all ranks. Aides-de-camps (mostly with the rank of captain) to officers of general grades wore a green sash. Brigadier generals wore a pink sash, major generals a purple sash, and George Washington as commander in chief, wore a light blue sash. Generals wore a sash diagonally across their shoulders between their coats and waistcoats. "As the Continental Army has unfortunately no uniforms, and consequently many inconveniences must arise from not being able to distinguish the commissioned officers from the privates, it is desired that some badge of distinction be immediately provided for instance that the field officers may have red or pink colored cockades in their hats, the captains yellow or buff, and the subalterns green." To correct the situation, George Washington, who had been appointed General & Commander in chief, recommended the following stopgap solution for distinguishing the ranks: At the start of the American Revolutionary War in 1775, the Continental Army's lack of standardized uniforms and insignia proved confusing for soldiers in the field. The structure of United States military ranks had its roots in British military traditions, adopting the same or similar ranks and titles. 1.10 Insignia as worn on epaulettes of the former Army Green Uniform coat.We have a large collection of historial market data ,mostly of them are 30 years+, email us for details.
