Collar
Badges - Infantry 1931 - 1942
|
The infantry collar badge
changed in 1931 to crossed rifles and separate number in brass for enlisted
ranks and in silver for officers. The number was worn in two ways,
below the rifles by the six regular infantry battalions and to the side by the
seven reserve battalions. Two other examples are shown in the
reserve series. As a point of information the old brass crossed rifles for
marksman in the British army have been mistaken for our collar badges but their
rifles are at a greater angle.
