Royal Naval Division Army Insignia
Might seem odd that I'm posting this here but the RND uniform did bear more of a resemblance to infantry than navy. I am interested in what types of army insignia were worn by the ratings of the Royal Naval Division. I do know already that standard army rank was worn on the right sleeve, naval on the left in blue thread on khaki backing e.g. a Petty Officer had a PO's rating badge on his left sleeve and Sergeant's stripes on his right.
Was army trade insignia worn where appropriate? Were good conduct stripes worn as inverted rank chevrons on the cuff, army style or coloured chevrons under the rating badge naval style?
If anyone can suggest any references I should look up on the wider topic of RND insignia I'd be extremely grateful!
