Subject: [WW1] position of N.C.O.s' stripes
Date: Sat, 06 Dec 2003 12:04:34 +1030

I was recently sent a photograph of NCOs and men of the 1/20 London
Regiment, apparently taken some time before the batallion went to France
in 1915. Three of the N.C.O.s (a corporal and two sergeants) have their
stripes on the lower part of their sleeves, just above the cuff, instead
of in the normal place on the upper arm above the elbow. In the
three-stripers' case, their stripes are upside down in an inverted 'V'.
Does this have any significance ?
