rectangular
colored bars about 3
cm. long and 1
cm. wide. They consist of a
brass backing
plate with
pins or
clip to attach to the
uniform, a
stiff cardboard backing and a
colored tight woven cloth which is attached to the backing and slipped in front of the
brass plate which
holds it in
place. Service insignia are worn in a tasteful arrangement (if more than one) on the
left breast pocket of the
officer's dress
uniform starting about one inch down from the top. By a glance officers can be recognized as to their
service and
training and can be more properly afforded the status and etiquette due them.
