Hoisted high on VE Day in London by GIs is Nationalist Chinese Soldier, an Officer, he was probably a member of Nationalist China's Allied Military Mission to England right.

Not a problem, we always encourage other interested members to add stuff.

Lets add this chart for the Nationalist Air Force ranks.

Here's Nationalist Chinese pilots with their U.S. Advisors., Chengtu China March 1943, Squadron unknown, but they may not be assigned yet to a flying organization and may be Aviation Cadets just graduated or still in training.

Nationalist Chinese Sailors date location unknown, but before they changed Cuff Devices, the Wheat Wreath is still used, forgot date they changed them, I think changed them to Stars.

They changed a lot of the officer uniforms after the war to similar US style.

 

There were a few Royal Navy trained Chinese sailors post war. Most of them were sailors of the HMS Aurora which was transferred to the Chinese navy as the ROCN Chungking. They wore RN uniforms.

Nationalist Chinese Soldier in Burma, armed with a Tommy Gun, probably British supplied like his Helmet, I think celebrating the Surrender of Italy in September 1943.
