What do you think?

What the hell is it?

It's a "one". First Infantry Division. The Red One; think General Pershing will like it?
The Captain:
Oh, sure.
The Sergeant:
I got the idea from the cap of a Hun I killed.
The Captain:
When?

About an hour ago
The Captain:
Did he yell out anything?
The Sergeant:
Oh, the same old Kaiser stuff, you know, "the war's over," all that junk.
The Captain:
Finish it.
The Sergeant:
Sir?
The Captain:
Finish it. The Armistice was signed, at eleven o'clock this morning. The war's been over for four hours. You didn't know it was over.
The Sergeant:
...He did.
Zab: [narrating]
A quarter of a century later that piece of cloth from a dead Hun's hat had become famous all over the world. It was the insignia of the First Infantry Division. The Fightin First. The Big Red One.
