    Thunderbolt,

    The links below may help. The first one is to a page with downloadable manuals. The other has uniform information such as the "how worn" in AR 670-1.

    The British Army ranks roughly equate to US Army ranks thus:

    UK ..............................................USA
    Pte .............................................Pte
    LCpl............Junior NCO...................PFC/Spec
    Cpl.............Junior NCO...................Spec/Cpl/Sgt
    Sgt............Senior NCO...................SSG
    SSgt..........Senior NCO...................SFC
    WO2..........Warrant Officer 2...........MSG / 1st Sgt
    WO1..........Warrant Officer 1...........Sgt Maj / Comd Sgt Maj etc

    Some British officers say that a Sgt is a NCO rather than a SNCO (but they're wrong!). We would treat any 'foreign' Sgt as a SNCO.

    p.s. I passed through Kansas City on my way to Fort Leonard Wood in 2007 for a couple of weeks!

    Forgive me for being a bit off-topic, but then are there no Sergeants-Major or the like in the British Army?

    It is no longer a rank in the British or Canadian Army, it is now a position. Here is a wikipedia link which seems to be good info[-wise.

    As far as I know it has always been an appointment not a rank.
