Mascot of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers; ready to parade

from National Library of Scotland

• Royal Welch Fusiliers Regimental Museum said:

  The regiment has traditionally had a goat, never called a mascot. The tradition dates from at least 1775, and possibly from the regiment's formation. The goat is given full honours of a corporal by all ranks and attended to by the Goat Major. The goat is the only serving member of the Armed Forces which is still entitled to the cigarette ration as it is good for his digestion. The goat is always named 'Billy' and the current goat has been recruited from Snowdon.

Mascots on RECRUIT (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• swanq said:

  en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Recruit_(1917) "USS Recruit, also known as the Landship Recruit, was a wooden mockup of a dreadnought battleship constructed by the United States Navy in Manhattan in New York City, as a recruiting tool and training ship during the First World War."

  Another photo of USS Recruit at the Université de Caen Basse-Normandie's Flickr Commons collection:

• Art Siegel said:

  There are quite a few other Bain photos of this "ship"/recruiting station in Union Square. It didn't open until late May, 1917, so this photo was taken between then and its decommissioning in 1920. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9802E0D6123BEE... www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=%22ON%20RECRUIT%22&co=... Here's an amusing one, including one of the mascots, a Victrola, and dancing sailors: www.shorpy.com/node/3562 A view of the ship under construction: www.shorpy.com/node/3561

• Jon (LOC P&P) said:

  Thanks swanq, TVL1970, and Art Siegel. I've always liked photos of the USS Recruit, and this one with some of the Navy mascots is very cute. We'll add some information to the catalog record and change the date range. I tried to identify the officer in the photo holding the bird, but had no luck. Can anyone else determine who he is?

• Art Siegel said:

  He is wearing a Chief Petty Officer uniform, but that's about it. Gizmodo ran a story on it last year with some "then and now" shots of Union Square: gizmodo.com/5988945/the-battleship-that-took-over-union-s...
