if you read the history of ranks on those pages than you will find out that they are mostly the same through out the history of the US armed forces
Most insignia from WWI was used in WWII aswell as can be seen at
http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Rank_page/USArmyRankInsignia.htm
it contains story about the origin of ranks past and present, so if that is not enough i can not help further.
