WW1 British BEF Corporal Rank Insignia Single

The WW1 British BEF Corporal Rank Insignia Single is an original example of insignia worn by non-commissioned officers in the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This type of insignia was used to indicate the rank of corporal and typically consists of two chevrons made from khaki or white cotton tape, which were sewn onto the upper sleeve of the service dress tunic. The chevrons are positioned with points facing downward and were a standard feature across infantry and many other corps within the BEF. This individual piece reflects the standardized design regulations introduced by the British Army before and during WW1. Such insignia were essential for identifying rank and authority in the field, especially under the challenging conditions of trench warfare. The single item offered here is representative of those issued between 1914 and 1918 and provides insight into the uniform details of British forces of the era.
