THE MARINE CORPS 124 THE LEGION IN GEORGIA

The United States Marine Corps

U . S. M a r in e s F r o m G e o r g ia

The Marines, now commonly known as “Devil Dogs,” are soldiers of the sea. The dress and the degrees of rank of this corps corresponds more with that of the army than of the navy, although they operate under the control and in co-operation with the latter depart­ ment. The establishment of the Marines dates from an early period in American history. Dur­ ing the Revolutionary W ar the regulations of dress were as follows. O f f i c e r s

Coat green cutaway faced with white E n l i s t e d M e n Buttons .. silver Coat faced with red Breeches white edged with green Buttons pewter Vest white Breeches _ light colored Stockings white Vest white woolen jacket, green shirt Gaiters black Stockings white woolen H at ____ cocked Gaiters black Overcoats . blue H at __ round hat with a white binding Overcoats - blue Officers and men wore powdered hair; flour was issued the men for this purpose. The modern dress of the Marines, however, has a tendency to retain the green shade in its uniform, but its modern color-tones differ greatly from the ornate embellishments of early days. In all wars the “estimate of the situation” has been “The Marines have landed and the situation is well in hand.”
