Summary[edit]

Description
English: Pages from New Notes on the the Red Army; No 2 Uniforms and insignia, a military manual published in August, 1944 during World War II by the War Office, a department of the British Government responsible for the administration of the British Army.
  • Pages 12–13 A2 Serjeants Shoulder-straps
(including Officer-Cadets Serjeant Majors, Serjeants and Corporals).
(a) Walking-out dress: Shoulder-straps are made of coloured cloth, the colour depending on the arm of service of the wearer. Rank is determined by transverse cloth bars worn across the top of the shoulder-strap; and, in the case of officer-cadets and serjeant-majors, by longitudinal strips also. These bars and stripes are gold, for combatant, and silver, for non-combatant troops. Service emblems are worn by all arms except infantry and administrative service. The number, and sometimes also the designation, of the wearer's unit is worn on the lower half of the shoulder-strap. Officer-cadets wear walking-out dress shoulder-straps only.
(b) Field dress: Shoulder-straps are all of a khaki colour without indica- tions of the wearer's unit. The transverse cloth bars determining rank are of coloured cloth, the colour depending on the arm of service. The piping round the three edges of the shoulder-strap also varies in colour according to the arm of service. See table opposite.
Officer-cadets wear walking-out dress shoulder-straps only.
