Default Kings Crown WO III or Staff Sergeant

Hi friends

Both crowns are 5 cm x 5 cm, the worsted wool is more "green" in colour.

Are they Canadian or UK (WWII era) and would the corresponding rank be used for WOIII and Staff Sergeant and worn on BD?

If WOIII is this worn in chevron position or fore arm?

cheers

Phill

Thanks again Simon.

Again I take it because of the shape,size, colour and construction that denotes Canadian origin?

cheers

Phill
