Reclaimed History’s uniform finders
Visual military-uniform reference tools help people identify ribbons, unit patches, ranks, and marksmanship badges, then organize research toward a person’s story.
- For
- Students, families, and curious military-history researchers
- Worth noticing
- Its reference counts are specific: 225 award references, 325 patch references, and 227 rank and chart references.
Field notes
The finders break identification into observable features rather than requiring visitors to know military terminology first. The homepage gives separate reference counts for awards, patches, and rank charts, and describes comparing designs against their historical period. Its research guidance asks users to distinguish a unit’s history from an individual’s experience; the project also says image credits and source links remain with entries.
