Hi friends
Question. How do you describe the construction of this style of WWII enlisted rank? I require it for my database. regards Phill |
Sergeants 3 bar Chevron in Khaki worsted.
regards |
Thanks Simon
Do the bars have a specific name or are they just called "bars" ie "woven or embroidered bars"? cheers Phill |
Herringbone tape is a term often for the pattern of fabric chevrons sewn to the backing cloth.

Although from a later period, these chevrons have their official description on the attached label.
Such NCO badges are always known by the British Army as chevrons or stripes but never bars. Jon |

To add to the discussion, I suspect that use of the descriptive term "bar" is for stores identification purposes and to avoid tautology and mis-accounting as shown in the Catalogue of Clothing and Necessaries 1949 with for example:
"Chevrons, Service 3-bar" rather than "Chevrons, Service 3 chevrons" More recently JSP768 uses "Stripe, Service" describes as "Chevron" and lists variations as Bar 1 etc. Tim |
I love those Catalogue's of Clothing and Necessaries, so informative, wish i could find one, seem to be quite scarce.

Thanks for all the input gentlemen.

I am highly interested in a picture of the "Chevrons, miniature, printed -For caps, peaked" as I never have encountered an example.
They are mentioned in the above Catalogue of Clothing and Necessaries 1949. |

Very hard to find. The attached image shows samples. I will try and dig the originals out of my files and scan them alongside the normal versions for comparison.
