Quartermaster rank insignia?
I would be most grateful if anyone can assist to identify the insignia in the attached photograph, worn on the lower sleeve by a gent serving with a Scottish regiment in the WW1 era (or pre-WW1).
I assume that the stripes are rank insignia for a Quartermaster. I have no idea regarding the patch above the stripes. Any insights welcome! |

Looks like crossed bugles. Possibly a bugle major to a rifle or light infantry regiment.

Yes indeed - crossed bugles although I hadn't worked it out.

Can you see the other arm in the photo? If not, I would assume those are GC stripes. Those are crossed bugles, but I had thought they were normally worn on the upper arm?

Rifles Buttons.
Rifle Pattern Sergeants leather sword belt. Insignia worn on both sleeves. Therefore Bugle Major in a Rifle Regiment. regards

Yes, beyond any doubt whatsoever. The crossed bugles were not by any means always worn ........ some units BMs wore the single version. Conversely, double bugles are not unknown on lower ranking buglers.
A very good example, super photo. |
