Ron,

By that time he would be a SNCO rather than a Warrant Officer.

regards

I suspect the SNCOs wore the normal nickel badge at that time especially with the casualty rates and rapid promotion through temporary ranks. The bi-metal ones were more likely a peacetime parade dress item.

I think there was only the standard SD during the Great War. They would have been altered by units/men to give a Scottish style- I think the skirt of the jacket was often only pinned back. Regards, Paul.

all depends on date.

pre- May 1915, he is a colour-sergeant appointed CSM or CQMS, after that date he is a colour-sergeant appointed CQMS or [less likely] as Orderly Room Sergeant. If the latter he is battalion staff, so with some dress privileges if any were retained in SD by that regiment.
