and LC_TIME defines the locale "default" representation for time. Just select and 24h LC_TIME.
Sure the screen is missing to display examples.
The only English locale category, I'm aware of, which offers a default 24h time representation
and supported on Debian system would be English locale for Ireland, which has the code en_IE.UTF-8.

Actually there are some more, checking most English locale availabe in Debian:
and listing the default short and long date-time represantation:The closest time representation which looks like en_US.UTF-8 but with 24H would actual be C.UTF-8.Code: Select all

en_IE.UTF-8 : English locale for Ireland would be also OK, but differs in short date representation dd/mm/yy instead of mm/dd/yy,
in case that matters.
dd/mm/yy is my preferred way (just a yank who watches too much British shows) as I have become accustomed to that method.
My bash config prompt is set to Date which shows the following.
en_US.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8 en_IE.UTF-8
Seems en_IE.UTF-8 is my best choice.
