patches Posted October 13, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 13, 2020 We think you may mean this, right? If so then it is called a Discharge Chevron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted October 13, 2020 Share #4 Posted October 13, 2020 Maybe a fourragère for the Croix De Guerre or Légion d’Honneur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manayunkman Posted October 13, 2020 Share #5 Posted October 13, 2020 There is another thread about this cord. Someone thought it was a Dutch lanyard. Is it red or orange? I saw the picture you posted and it’s not a Dutch lanyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primoris Scio Posted October 26, 2021 Share #7 Posted October 26, 2021 Why does that uniform have both the PFC patch for artillery, and the Corporal chevron sewn together? Were they allowed to wear both at the same time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a corporal qualified as a gun pointer. https://uniform-reference.net/insignia/usarmy/usa_enlisted_ww1.html#ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
