WW1 Ranks & Insignia

A website with the ranks, hat types, and insignia from WW1 covering American, British, German & French armies.

Very handy if you need to identify things from an old photo.

Need help in identifying Cap Badges:

Hello Andy, thanks for that.

That uniform site is a good one. There’s all sorts of stuff in there.

I might just add in a site I stumbled upon a few days back that also covers badges http://www.britisharmedforces.org/pages ... allery.htm

All the best,
Alan
