Recently acquired this interesting set of corp rank in a WWII era USMC/USN collection. They have chain stitched chevrons on a denim type material. Anyone have any knowledge of these? Thanks.

US Army for wear on blue denim work coat. Red for Artillery soldiers. I've seen them in buff for Quartermaster troops, too. I don't know if these were used by the USMC, too.

The Marines have never used Army chevrons. These date from the early 20th century. Check out Emerson'd book on Army chevrons.
