The Development of Rank Insignia

From 1872 the majors received oak leaves in gold to distinguish them from the silver of lieutenant colonels and the bars of both captains and lieutenants became silver. In a similar fashion, 1917 saw the introduction of a single gold bar for second lieutenants. These changes created the curious situation (in terms of heraldic tradition) of silver outranking gold. One after-the-fact explanation suggested by some NCOs is that the more-malleable gold suggests that the bearer is being «molded» for his or her responsibilities – as a field officer (second lieutenant) or staff officer (major).

However, this explanation may be more clever that correct, for while the insignia for second lieutenant and major are gold colored they are actually made of brass is a base metal while silver is a precious metal. The rank order thus does not actually conflict with heraldic tradition.

The Civil War saw the development of distinctive rank insignia in the Confederate armies. Junior officers up to captain wore collar insignia of three horizontal bars for a captain, two for a first lieutenant and one for a second lieutenant. Majors, lieutenant colonels, and colonels wore repectively one, two, and three stars on the collar, and all grades of general had the insignia of three stars (the middle being slightly larger) in an open top wreath pattern.
