Headquarters 35th Division American Expeditionary Forces 8th January 1919. GENERAL ORDERS ) ) 755 No. 4 ) Attention of all commenders is called to preveiling violation of regulations concerning hair-cutting, as regards both officers and men. The folloving extract of prragroph 286, A. . R. is quoted: T* The hoir will be kept short and the benrd neatly trimmed. * There is an erroneous idea thE t the military haircut is to clip the hoir short at the back and above the ears, leaving the hair long on top. This is not only a very absurd and ugly custom but is also unnilitory The hair will be kept short all over the head. It may be kept just long enough to part, or clipped all over, at the will of the individual. But close clipping at the back and over the ears leaving long shocks of hoir on top will be dis- continued. This order will be read to the men and E copy fur- nished all barbers, who will be required to cut hoir according to regulations. Commanders will ascertain by frequent inspections that this order is being obeyed. By Command of Brigadier Generel Dugan: H. S. HAWKINS Colonel , General staff, Chief of staif. OFFICIAL : S. VM.
