The Official NATO-approved rank equivelancy runs thus:

US Rank   UK Rank
Private   Private
PFC	  Lance Corporal
Corporal  Corporal
Sergeant  Sergeant
SSG	  Sergeant
SFC/MSG   Color Sergeant
1SG/SGM   WO
CSM/SMA   Whatever you call it with the lions holding
up the coat of arms and a crown on top.

I've got pictures but not titles for the UK stuff. 
It's from the KFOR Handbook and the point is really to
show who you salute and who you don't.	And even then
no one cared--I kind of startled an RRF major when I
actually knew to salute him once.
