Just to add my ten penny into the conversation.......... I believe the WO1 Badge with a wreath around it originated as a RLC (RAOC and earlier - When the British Army was in South Africa?) Conductor badge. It has been in recent years, been introduced as a CRSM badge. However, the title (appointment) can differ from Regt to Corps....... For intstance in the APTC the senior WO1 is known as the Corps Regimental Sergeant Major or CRSM, but if you take the Armoured Corps for another example - they refer to their senior WO1, as the Corps Sergeant Major or CSM. So to conclude, it differs depending on what capbadge it is...... I hope to have been of help.
