WW1 British BEF Sergeant Rank Insignia Single (1)

The WW1 British BEF Sergeant Rank Insignia Single is a uniform badge issued to non-commissioned officers of the British Expeditionary Force during the First World War. This insignia consists of a single cloth chevron, typically made from khaki or buff-colored wool, designed to be sewn onto the upper sleeve of a service dress tunic. The chevron represents the rank of sergeant, denoting a role of leadership and responsibility within the British Army’s structure. Serjeants, as they were officially termed during this period, were crucial in maintaining discipline and command at the section and platoon level. The design and materials of these insignia remained consistent throughout much of the conflict, though slight variations may exist due to differing manufacturers and supply shortages. The single chevron offered here is intended for restoration or display purposes related to First World War British uniforms and provides a tangible example of period military rank identification.
