I think I have a handle on rank insignia for NCOs in British line units (red and gold on red), but am still unclear on some other units. For example, what colors did the King's Royal Rifle Corps (I assume they were in gray serge rather than green) have for their rank chevrons? I have seen some figures with green chevrons. I am also at a loss when it comes to the Royal Marine Light Infantry's NCO markings. Finally, I have the same question for Egyptian and Sudanese NCOs. I believe that in 1881-1882 they were worn on the lower part of the sleeve, but understand they moved closer to the British system of rank insignia. I appreciate any advice you might have to offer. |

Darrell, Some very good data on the Egyptian part of the question at Victorian Wars forum (under the Sudan section, of course). CA |
