Hi!

The chile army site isn't complete any more. It now ends at Brigadier.

Yes, but I think he also meant the pictures of the rank insignia for general officers (for the army, air force and Carabineros) seem to have disappeared.

Please take a look at these (just copy & paste on the browser, the hyperlink seems to be malfunctioning):

Seems like only the rank insignia for admirals was untouched...

P.S: Not to put undue pressure on the illustrators, but can shoulderboard insignia (current, mind you) be provided for Chilean Navy officers? I'm particularly interested with the admirals' gold-lace trim shoulderboards

Is there rank above Colonel in Air Force section? My question though, I have book like WWII era with insignias, and there version of collar ranks for Chilean Army, can be those reproduced at this site, and are they still in use?
