Gd morning Bryan

I gave a cursory glance through your postings and it will evidently take quite a bit of time to really appreciate the content.
While not strictly a 'lace' subject, however a naval rank in it's own right, the insignia for Midshipmen. I may have missed them but if not, did the rank exist within RCN and attendant navies?
I am posting a couple of scans of pairs of turnbacks to the RNR and RNVR. These were found in a box of heavily mothed wartime cloth insignia, including commonwealth pilots' wings which I posted in an earlier post. Unfortunately, there were no white turnbacks there to the RN.
