Signalcorps45 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 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.

Hugh Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 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.

The following site will show you other Navy branch insignia. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Navy_officer_rank_insignia Best, Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
