Hi Peter.

 

Thanks for posting the selections above,  I would certainly agree with the above statement that they were the most colourful of the chevrons used by the army, the quality of manufacture is excellent as well, over a hundred years on have we lost that art, the world has changed.

Officially that insignia would be authorized until 17 May 1918, when the branch devices were eliminated. Wear of blue uniforms, though, had been suspended in June 1917.

Of course! The WW1 period chevrons are a very deep subject, but this may be of some help:

I had a totally decked out 1902 uniform from a signals NCO.

 

What a colorful uniform that was.
