truthergw Posted 18 July , 2010 Share Posted 18 July , 2010 I think these are overseas service stripes and are correct. Wound stripes were vertical bars on the left forearm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

auchonvillerssomme Posted 6 August , 2011 Share Posted 6 August , 2011 On the left arm if a stripe looks like a wound stripe, it is a wound stripe, good conduct badges were inverted chevrons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
