Cary o Posted October 13, 2020 #1 Posted October 13, 2020 What is red braid on left shoulder of Army uniform WW1.
patches Posted October 13, 2020 #2 Posted October 13, 2020 We think you may mean this, right? If so then it is called a Discharge Chevron.
Blacksmith Posted October 13, 2020 #4 Posted October 13, 2020 Maybe a fourragère for the Croix De Guerre or Légion d’Honneur?
manayunkman Posted October 13, 2020 #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.

Primoris Scio Posted October 26, 2021 #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?

That is a corporal qualified as a gun pointer. https://uniform-reference.net/insignia/usarmy/usa_enlisted_ww1.html#ratings
