I've seen examples of a General's field uniform having the traditional "bullion" pattern, but colored olive drab to match the rest of the uniform--as well as red piping like with General's greatcoats.
Anyone else have any ideas?
I'm not sure that the gilt vs od collar device situation is impacted by rank. I think everyone was supposed to have od in the field, but some people bent the rules.
