A lovely, good quality rank insignia badge in bullion with an off white, padded backing with press stud fittings.

White backed rank badges were worn on No1 Dress and smaller on Mess Dress by a number of regiments and corps including 17/21L, QRL, 13/18H, RASC, RCT and PWO

RQMS not CSM
|
With 'Press Studs' more likely for 'Warm Weather' No11 Mess Dress (White Jacket) than 'Temperate' No10 Mess Dress where they are normally stitched as are No1 Dress.
No3 'Warm Weather' is the equivalent to No1 Dress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unifor...monial_uniform As Grumpy says for RQMS not CSM |
thanks for the input, and I googled images to check the rank.......that will teach me.:confused:

If a little pedantry is permitted, both the CSM and the RQMS have been the same rank since 1915, as WO II, but the RQMS is the senior appointment.
Half the Colour sergeants of infantry were appointed CSMs on the creation of the 4 company organisation in 1914 and then did exceptionally well out of the changes of May 1915 and leaped to near equality with the RQMS. I doubt if the RQMS was delighted. |

the KC version, I thought the white cream baking was linked to the KOYLI.
