Unit Regulations
****Personal Appearance****
Hair-
Hair is to be cut above the ears and collar and tapered up the sides
and back. It is to be a natural hair color.
Sideburns- will not extend past the middle of the
ear and will be neat in
appearance. (No Mutton chops)
Facial
Hair- After
1916, you would rarely have seen frontline Soldaten with a full beard.
Generally, men were either clean-shaven, had moustaches or, at the most, had a
goatee. This can easily be substantiated by looking at period photographs; the
reason for this being so that the Gasmask would seal properly to the face.
Jewelry- Jewelry will be limited to wedding bands
or another type of period
ring. No mood rings, earrings, tongue bars, face spikes or anything else
post 1918. Remember you are portraying a poor soldier for whom a wedding
band would have been a great expense.
Watches-
There is great latitude here. A pocket watch is best as wrist
watches were expensive and would not be readily worn by regular soldiers. You are welcome to wear
a wrist watch but it must be pre-1918 in appearance (they were large) and
not a digital or calculator watch or any such item.

Event Registration- All members are expected to register for each event attended without fail. Members attending events without registering is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
