Battle Shirt Question

[TheSignalCorpsGuy]

All,

I read with interest the recent thread on Battle Shirts and am curious about enlisted rank insignia on them.

Were Cpl./Sgt. stripes applied? Curious - let me know............

I do not believe chevrons or boards were sewn to early "battle" shirts. I do not know where I read it , but I thought some of sterling Price's troops used a piece of ribbon or cloth tied through a coat button, or around their upper arm.
