WWII White Service Stripe
Has anyone ever seen a white WWII Service Stripe?
My understanding is that the small red inverted stripes were worn on the lower right BD sleeve during WWII, but I have had two bits of conflicting information. 1) White Stripe indicated service in a previous war, i.e., WWI 2) White Stripe indicated wearer was a regular or TA soldier prior to war being declared. Can anyone clarify please? Many thanks, Ken |

Are you thinking of the "service stripe" inverted chevrons worn on the lower left sleeve?

Oh blimey.
I thought Wound Stripes were lower left and Service Stripes were lower right arm? Ken |

Wound stripes (vertical strips) and service stripes (inverted rank chevrons) as in length of service in the army lower left, the wartime service stripes (small red inverted chevrons) lower right.

That's what I'm after Leigh, the WWII red Service Stripes on lower right arm.
Two different people have told me of a white one, which goes at the bottom of the red ones. Is that right? |
