"Question, per regulations, items were to be marked as noted:
1. Every article, excepting arms and accoutrements, belonging to the regiment, is to be marked with the number and name of the regiment.
2. Such articles as belong to companies are to be marked with the letter of the company, and, number and name of the regiment; and such as belong to men, with their individual numbers, and the letter of the company.
Getting the number of the regiment, letter of the company and individual's number is easy enough.
How does one find the 'name' of the regiment? Does this reference the state they are from? Commanding officer (though if you have loss of leadership men would have various names on the equipment)? Unit nickname (i.e. Pelican Regiment?), or what?
Thanks for input
