Hopefully an easy question

[Cressy]

Hi to all you learned people. I have a hopefully easy question for you friendly experts. What would 3 horizontal cloth bars (darker than a battledress in a ww2 b/w photo) set between the formation sign (indistinguishable) and a set of sergeants stripes on the rh battledress sleeve indicate? Thanks in advance. Paul

Hello Paul,

The link below may be of interest/use to you. These types of insignia can be a bit bewildering at times. All hopefully made a bit clearer here:
