The Well-Dressed Commando—From Stem to Stem

and dagger in belt. The tube across the man’s chest is attached to a life preserver. Tube is used to inflate
the preserver if the Commando goes into the water. Right: An extra dagger carried in the scabbard in the

How to stump your friends: Ask
them what is the first bugle call
of the day in the Army. It’s ten
to one they’ll say “Reveille.”
They’ll be wrong. It’s “First
Call.” Most of your friends know,
though, that the cigarette that
gets first call with Army men is
Camel. And Camel is the favorite
with men in all branches of the
service — Navy, Marines, Coast
Guard, too. (Based on actual sales
records from service men’s
stores.) And a carton of Camels is
their favorite gift. Local dealers
are featuring Camel cartons for
service men now.—Adv.
