[quote from history of the redleg term]
In the 1940s, as in World War I, once again the uniform lost most of its color due to wartime emergency.
The new regulation, AR 600-200, provided the Army with a dress uniform, unfortunately for Artillerymen, with the yellow stripe for all ranks.
so...yellowleg?
