	Federal Military Ribbon Awards
		The first ribbon award is probably the least known: the Army's Wound Ribbon, established in September of 1917 but rescinded in January of 1918.
		They use a cravate (ribbon) which is attached to the staff that carries the colors, and when a unit is cited in orders of the army for extraordinary services a Croix de Guerre is attached to the cravate.
		The Army directed that one decoration per streamer would be used, and the streamers were to be the colors of the corresponding ribbon of the decoration, with the name of the action for which it was awarded embroidered thereon.

		Red Army nursing personnel quite often operate much closer to the actual fighting than is customary in other armies, and there have been many instances of the nurses accompanying units in combat, much as our battalion aid men do.

		1 strip for one wound up to 5 strips for 5 or more wounds (wounds which were received during the same day/action would count as one) and no stripes for severely damaged health caused by the circumstances of doing duty with the army in the field.
		Personnel with self-inflicted wounds or those who had lost the right to wear medals in the case of criminal delinquency or who died of their wounds or in other circumstances were exempted from receiving this decoration.
		In face of this last announcement it seems clear that only a very small number of medals would have been awarded regularly before the war's end, but the medals and ribbons were produced and surely the majority of the awardees received their medals after the war directly from the producers.

	DOGS AND NATIONAL DEFENSE
		The German Army is reported to have utilized approximately 30.,000 of the animals for messenger and ambulance service, The French and Belgian Armies employed them on a smaller scale for messenger, ambulance, and draft work.
		In the absence of any definite policy on the part of the Army Ground Forces regarding their use the training of tactical dogs in 1942 and 1943 was necessarily limited and experimental, Military officers generally were unfamiliar with the possible utilization of these animals in combat and rather skeptical of their value.
		While the Army could not absolutely guarantee the future behavior of any returned dog nor assume any responsibility once it had left Army jurisdiction there were very few complaints as to the behavior of the 3,000 odd dogs discharged from the service.
