Ohio 1094 On 19 August 1863 the Adjutant General ordered that: Volunteer regiments, battalions and Squadrons will inscribe on their colors their proper numerical designation and the arm of the service to which they belong, with the letters O.V.M. They may also wear upon their colors the name of their city or county, or both. This order probably relates to inscriptions on national colors. 43uSA a+I ORDER oF BAH,E: VOLUNTEER MILITIA (Redesignated NATIONAL GUARD in 1864; new commands established as INDEPENDENT MILITIA in 1870) (Cineinrali elements) Rover Guards or Rcgt 1852-1860 DO'0 Fw// dress.. scarlet tail coat and pants. trimmed with buff; scarlet dress cap trimmed with brass and initials "C.R.G."; red andwhiteplurne;silverstaronbrassbreastplate;"C.R.G."onbrasswalstbel(pta(e.fa/..gqc..darkb]uejacke(and forage cap, thmmed with red; black pants. /8j8..
