These KD Sergeant White Stripes are accurate reproductions of the original sergeant chevrons worn on British Khaki Drill uniforms during World War II. The three white-on-khaki chevrons were commonly used in tropical and hot climate theatres such as North Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Far East.
Faithfully recreated to original specifications, these insignia are easily sewn onto KD tunics or shirts. A must-have detail for re-enactors, collectors, and museums looking to display an authentic British or Commonwealth sergeant impression.
History
During WW2, non-commissioned officers wore their rank insignia clearly on Khaki Drill uniforms to ensure recognition and command visibility in hot and tropical climates. Sergeants, key leaders within their units, were identified by three white chevrons. These insignia not only represented authority but also reinforced structure and discipline within the British and Commonwealth forces.
