Thank you, Marc. My question was prompted by an old British movie I recently saw "Tunes of Glory", starring Alec Guinness and John Mills. At the beginning, Guinness is an acting colonel, commanding a Scottish Battalion, pending the arrival of the effective C.O. As such, he wears the Lt.Col. rank badge. As soon as the real C.O., John Mills, arrives, Guinness, who's going to leave the Battalion, and probably the Army, is shown wearing his "old" Major's insignia. I was surprised by this "change" being made immediately. Thanks again. Cheers
