The soldiers on this page are wearing these metal plaque thingies on chains around their necks. They're called gorgets. It's not a word I knew, and I don't figure most people know it (what do you all think?).
How would you describe the darn things, briefly, in passing? Just call 'em gorgets and try to give a bit of a visual so people at least know it's a shiny metal thing? Call 'em metal plaques on their chests? Something else? Anybody? ... Bueller? (OK, I'm old...)
Any ideas welcome...
