It was also corresponding to Gefreiter (Hungarian: Őrvezetö of the k.u.k. Infantry, Sanitätsgefreiter (en: medical gefreiter) of the k.u.k. Medical corps, as well as to Vormeister of the k.u.k. Artillery corps and to the k.u.k. Machine gun troops.

Then rank insignia was a single white celluloid-star on grass-green stand-up collar of the so-called Waffenrock (en: uniform jacket) on gorget patch with a grass-green background (de: Paroli).
