		Army Regulations 600-35, Personnel: The Prescribed Uniform, October 12, 1921, and all subsequent editions during General Pershing's lifetime, made no mention of insignia for General of the Armies but prescribed that generals would wear four stars.

March, had adopted under the provisions of then current uniform regulations, which permitted them to prescribe the insignia denoting their grade.
