Wound Chevron and Purple Heart

While the men of the Battalion were still in France, recognition of anyone wounded in combat was denoted by the use of a gold metallic-threaded chevron to be worn on the lower right cuff of the uniform.

Vickers & Colt-Browning 

The men of the Battalion used several different types of machine guns to train on while at Camp Lee and also in the early training when they arrived in France. This article looks at some of the differences in the weapons. The early graphic used on the letterhead of the Battalion featured the British style Vickers machine gun.
