And what makes this legendary?

I have just aquired  an A2 from a  2013 year contract. It has velcro for a name tag and command patch nothing on the sleeves. Would the owner have put the velcro on the sleeves or did they not attach  sleeve velcro and stich patches on? 

The other pair are in unissued condition. I found these at a local gun show maybe 40 years ago.

I have two pair of cavalry gloves. The first pair are worn but in nice condition.  I'm only showing one glove since they are mounted on one of my manikins.

While not as common as helmet graffiti it was pretty common.    Chaplain Ray W.

Thanks a lot for your insight! I had trouble finding any reference to what the ribbons were, not a lot of historical guides I could find to their decorations over time. Do let us know if you ever are able to figure out the red one, I’m quite curious.

What is the full name of the Green Book the image is from?   Thanks. Dan
