Thanks once again

Australia seems to follow the infantry only rules more closely. In the British Army there is often an effort to dress up the plain khaki a bit and that is why
some (but not all) non-infantry SNCOs kick over the traces and wear sashes that they are not entitled to. No knowing any better, their hierarchy occasionally acquiesce. The fact remains that it is forbidden by clothing regulations.
