1848 PIEDMONTESE ARMY. NCO's Ranks

 It was unclear to me the system with which the NCO and caporals were distiguished in the Piedmontese Army. It is possible to say that the system remained the same during the post Napoleonic period, until 1848 and later. Hence I was able to re-build the ranks of the NCO.

We can point out the following ranks

- Soldato


- Caporale

- Caporale Furiere

- Caporale Maggiore


- Sergente

- Furiere

- Furiere Maggiore


They were distiguished by a white stripe edged with the colour of the Regiment for the Caporals, while the NCO had in silver. The same for the ranks on the shako. Only the Savoy brigade had -  in place of white, yellow and in place of silver, gold.
