yup, werhemet style, old german world war II

altogether i think the collar style looks old and imperial, the to shoulder ones look serious and honrable while the ones on the sides of the shoulder looks combat-ready

"Norway doesn't have NCO's, I've explained a bit about the Norwegian rank system here"

Isn't sersjant an NCO? Korporal is maybe similar to our korpraali LCpl, wich is not NCO. Not sure but all norwegian squads i have seen seemed to have sergeant (three stripes) in charge. Is sersjant the lowest NCO rank in Norway?

Finnish ranks in english (land forces):

And the same ranks originally in finnish:

The rank field marshal isnt really used over here in the UK, its gone the way of your american 5 star general ( I hope i remembered that right...) , and is only used in certain circustances.
Such as some stupid person trying to invade...etc.

Hmm, well according to your link, Prince Phillip would seem to be the exception to your observation of only "some stupid person trying to invade". I also believe there are at least one or two Field Marshal's still living retired. I seem to recall watching a show about the Falklands conflict in which one of the British officers interviewed was a Field Marshal.

I'd still like to hear from somebody from the UK or Commonwealth who's actually served in the armed forces.
