Subject: RE: Tune Req: garryowen
As far as I know, the Seventh has ever since been known as "the Garry Owen Regiment." I aquired an insignia pin a couple of years ago that shows a horseshoe surrounding a gauntleted hand holding a sword, with a ribbon with the words "Garry Owen." It is the same design as one I unfortunately lost many years ago, which was given to me by a friend of my father's, who wore it on his uniform in the Korean War.
