The Loose Association of Wargamers

I presume they only have chevrons on the right arm (it’s all my Googlefu can turn up)?

I need to finish Seargent Arno de Hatchette for the weekend

Don’t worry, that nice chap the Maharajah will arrange to have their left arms chopped off

Take more than that to render them armless.

French NCO distinctions, the stuff of nightmares, as they are half chevrons for a start and worn near the cuff, always used to confuse them with the service and good conduct full chevrons worn on the upper arm.. One thing I am certain of is that they spelt it "Sergeant" like we do.

Thanks Tim. Was unaware of the service chevrons
