WOII / CSM Badge ID
Hi All
Could anyone tell me who would have used this, maybe police? It definitely has some age, I would guess pre-war at least. Thanks, cheers, Alex |

An RQMS for No.1 dress jacket sleeve.

The wire looks like silver bullion. If it is it could be a generic cap badge for a senior police officer. If the wire is gold coloured bullion, it is more likely military.

The only appointments held by this rank were platoon sergeant major, troop sergeant major and section sergeant major. The WOIII wore a crown on his lower sleeve (which is why all WOIIs switched to a crown in a wreath during this period). The rank was placed in suspension in 1940 and no new appointments were made, but it was never officially abolished. In the RAOC WOII's other than CSM's were appointed as SQMS or RQMS Last edited by Mike_2817; 12-06-22 at 04:20 PM. Reason: Amendments |
