A pair of chevron-shaped cloth rank insignia made of khaki-brown woven fabric with cream-coloured herringbone pattern stripes, mounted on a khaki-green wool backing. The insignia consists of two downward-pointing chevrons, denoting the rank of Corporal in the British Army and Commonwealth forces.
Such stripes were typically worn on the upper sleeve of the battledress jacket during the Second World War and postwar years. Corporals were non-commissioned officers (NCOs) responsible for leading small sections or squads of soldiers.
