Sadly,...

Hi everybody, can anyone explain the significance of the American insignia on the left side of the sections? For example, a Colonel without embellishment, Colonel with green bar underneath, with red bar or a green dot.
What does it mean?
Cheers

hI i HEARTILY AGREE WITH CHRIS. I thought the information was for sharing with everybody, indeed we used to have a print facility so we could all add to our respective collections. dO WE NOW ALL TAKE THIS ATTITUDE AND KEEP ANY NEW INFORMATION TO OURSELVES? Surely that,s not the site was intended to ...

Hi fellow members, as the first brit to respond to your good wishes, many thanks for your support. As to London, what these terrorists fail to understand is, 60 years ago a chap across the channel tried to bomb London into submission on a daily basis for 6 years, he did not succeed and could never b...

Hi Pavel and co, I like the new style forum much clearer to use, well done. :D :D :D cheers.

Hi Chuck, thanks for your reply. I've tried over and over again but to no avail. I've tried 2 web browsers but no luck. It obviously is not to be. Once again thanks for your help. :( :( :( Cheers.

Hi fellas, well I still can't get this site to work HELP! :( :( :(

Hi as you are no doubt aware, until 1918 we had a Brigadier general in the British Army, and at this time insignia was crossed sword and baton, it''s my understanding that during WW1, hte rank of Brigadier general was given to Colonels in command of a Brigade or those awaiting appointments to a high...

Hi Chuck, I''ve been trying to look at the above site repeatedly since your post but to no avail. please can you check the address to see if it's correct? mmany thanks. Cheers. :( :( :( :( :? :? :?

Hi Mark, I will be the first to say "apology accepted", I consiider that this site is one of the best if not the best that deals with our hobby. We have because of Pavel and the others, been able to pass on and collect vast amounts of information. I have, since this site has been in operat...

HI Mark, Yes you are new to this site, we would normally bid you welcome, but in your case I think we ought to say " GOODBYE". Your type is not required.

Hi Administrators herrwiggly here, on looking at the Jamaican Coonstabulry page, I notice this has been updated, but it shows the Senior Supperintendent insignia as being a crown surmounted by a pip. To my knowledge the crown always takes precedence over anything else, and should be shown as the Bri...

Hi everybody herrwiggly here, the RN page is still needs updating, I.E. the new Charge Chief Petty Officer and the flag ranks needs modifying. Can anyone help? Cheers. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hi Zdzislav, herrwiggly here, on the aboove web page the two pagges 1968-1973 and 1973-1988 are identical. Can you please check this out? Cheers :? :? :?

Hi everybody herrwiggly here, I''ve just managed to gain access to the forum for the first time in days, does anyone else have a problem? Does anyone knoow the reason why it keeps coming up in debug mode? :? :? :? Cheers.

Hi Zdzlislaw, herrwiggly here.

Cheers :? :? :...

Hi Pavel herrwiggly here, I forgot to mention in my last post, that the General ranks in the Marine section are also incorrect, they should be as follows, Brigadier General 1 silver star over loop Major General 2 silver stars over loop Lt. General 3 silver stars over loop General 4 silver stars over...

Cheers.Hi Pavel herrwiggly here, the flags ranks on the Dutch navy page are I believe shown incorrectly. They should be listed as follows, Commandeur 1 silver star over loop Schout bij nacht 2 silver stars over loop Vice Admiral 3 silver stars over loop Luitenant Admiral 4 silver stars over loop Adm...

Hi Pavel herrwiggly here, on the above page I believe the flag ranks shown to be incorrect. They should be, Commandeur 1 silver star over loop Schout bij nacht 2 silver stars over loop Vice Admiral 3 silver stars over loop Luitenant Admiral 4 silver stars over loop Admiral crossed batons over loop T...

Hi both again herrwiggly here, I have looked through the former states page and there it is in the early 50's page. it must be an addition to the page, so I stand or rather sit here corrected. :roll: :roll: :roll: Cheers.

Hi both herrwiggly here, many thanks for your quick replies. I'll look up on the relevant page and see if it's listed, somehow I don't think so. :D :D :D Cheers.

Hi everybody herrwiggly here, can anyone help to identify the General or Marshall's shoulder insignia at the top of this page left of the title? I have had a look through the pages but as of this moment no such luck. thanks in advance. :? :? :? Cheers. :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hi Pavel herrwiggly here, I notice that on the 23rd november with the new updates, the Netherlands page has only the Air Force ammended. The updates of 9th march on the Swedish page only updated the Air Force, it is though the updates were started and never completed and have been foorgotten. Will t...

Hi all herrwiggly here, I thought to make a post regarding pages that start to get updated and then seem to stop amidships. I do realise that there is a lot of hard work to keep the pages up to date, but in the interests of accuracy I feel that when such an error ocurrs it must be pointed out. Page ...

Hi herrwiggly here, thanks for installing the missing section. :D :D :D Cheers.

Hi herrwiggly here, I don't know how I missed it until now, but there is no customs section on this page. Is there any particular reason for this ?. :?: :?: :?: Cheers. :) :) :)

Hi Robb herrwiggly here, I wholeheartedly agree with you. I have a concern that if mistakes are pointed out and not acted upon, the diligent members may lose interest in two ways, 1. not bothering to point out any errors, 2. and/or just dissapear. I think for that to happen would be a great shame an...

Hi Pavel and co., herrwiggly here, on the above date the Swedish Air Force page was updated to the new insignia, but not the other services. Was this an oversight which has not been corrected? I have seen on other web sites that the Swedish navy and Coastal Artillery (also the latter has been rename...

Hi herrwiggly here, my name is Jon lindemann, as the saying goes, let me introduce myself. nothing very spectacular, my interest in things connected to ranks and insignias goes back as far I can remember. I am 61 years old and am a retired electronics engineer, in later years of my working life a ma...

Hi Chuck herrwiggly here, just looked at your latest site posting, what is the difference for anybody attending OTS and the Air Force Academy with a view to an air force career? Does attendance at the academy hold a higher status over OTs, say like West Point? :D :D :D Cheers

Hi Zdzislaw herrwiggly here, HEAR,HEAR! Let us keep this wonderful site for what it was (as you rightly say) intended, to enlarge our mutual knowledge of our hobby. The passing on of insignia information should be the PRIME motive for our communication between each other not to get involved in some ...

Hi Justin herrwiggly here, very interested to vview your cadet rank structure, it was surprising to see they actually followed the British pattern. I was very surprised to see that the most senior rank of the marine corps was Captain General. this is of course correct for the British Royal Marines, ...
