General Information on the Cap Tally.

The tally on a sailor's cap is a ribbon usually bearing the name of a ship or some other establishment to

which he belongs.

Practice varies with each navy, though a conventional tally is black, with a gold or yellow inscription. The

inscription may be simply a ship's name (e.g. "H.M.A.S. ARRERNTE"), the name of the navy

("MARINE NATIONALE").

The manner a tally is fastened onto the cap varies with each navy. For example, the British tie it into a bow

on the left side; the Germans and Russians tie it at the back, leaving behind a pair of streamers; while the

French stitch it onto the cap like an ordinary cap band.

Occasionally the tally's colour may vary from the usual black (such as the Ribbon of Saint George tallies

used in the Soviet and Russian navies to denote Guards units).
