What a difference 100 years makes.

This was collar brass intended as a reward for a highly-skilled and accomplished company, then. It would have rather a different connotation, today. Anyone remember the infamous "Peyote Platoon" of the 6-14 FA, 1st Tank DIVARTY, oh, 1984, I think?

These fine young Italian partisans in Milan in 1943 get points for a spiffy turn-out (well except for those clunky shoes on the lady in the middle) - but the young lady on the left gets -10 for weapons handling.

SR - Perhaps I wasn't clear - that was a "minus 10" for weapons handling. If she only had 3 points going into it, she walked out of it with negative seven.

I wonder if that "Crack Company" was "lively and gay"?

Except it appears (note front sight) the weapon is being rendered in an upside down manner. Maybe a 5. Naw, -0-. Incapable of offensive or defensive fire.
