WWII Brigadier General Rank

[Signalcorps45]

Hello to everyone,

I am trying to find out what these are. I believe it to be a WWII US Brigadier General rank insignia. Does anyone have any information on this? Thank you for your help. Sorry for the blurry pics, I had to use a cellular phone to take the pics.

These are stars worn just above the stripes on a US Naval officer's uniform to designate a line officer. The German Navy wears a similar star. USN Staff corps wear varying versions of oak leaves to designate branch, i.e., Supply, Medical, Dental, CEC.

They are worn by all officer ranks.

Not necessarily. I wore stars just like that well into the '80's. The following site will show you other Navy branch insignia.
