Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Pages from New Notes on the the Red Army; No 2 Uniforms and insignia, a military manual published in August, 1944 during World War II by the War Office, a department of the British Government responsible for the administration of the British Army.
  • Pages 04-05 A2 Shoulder-straps
These Short Notes do not include descriptions and details of the newly-established full dress, which were laid down by the above-mentioned decree. Owing to the exigencies of the present situation, full dress has so far had only a very limited issue.
All shoulder-straps are of two kinds:
(a) Walking-out dress (for everyday use). These are of gold or silver silk-braid according to the particular arm of the service, for officers; and of coloured cloth, also according to the service arm for other ranks.
(b) Field dress (for use in active operations or in training). These are of khaki coloured cloth for all ranks.
Officers' badges of rank are stars which vary in size with each successive category. The largest is that of a Marshal of the Soviet Union - diam. 50 mm. which is decreased to 40 mm. for other marshals (of armoured troops, artillery, signals, etc.). Stars worn by the senior officers are again smaller, and those of the junior officers smaller still. Except for generals and marshals, all stars for officers of the same category are of identical size, irrespective of the service arm of the wearer. When gold shoulder-straps are worn, the badges of rank are coloured silver, and when the shoulder- straps are silver. the badges of rank are coloured gold.
'N.C.O's badges of rank are transverse cloth bars worn across the upper half of the shoulder-strap.
Walking-Out dress shoulder-straps, Field-Dress shoulder-straps
Service emblems are in the shape of small badges coloured gold (combatant troops) or silver (administrative troops) and worn on the upper half of the shoulder strap below the button. Infantry and administrative troops do not wear any distinguishing emblem.
