*Army Markmanship competition prizes - 1921 - the new 8th Corps Area included Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona. It hosted a 1921 match.  For the 1921 U.S. based matches, some headquarters gave nothing, while one awarded the 1903-style leg badges with 8th Corps Area impressed on its brooches. The quartermaster  general continued to suppy some 1903-style prizes “until exhausted” in 1931.
