Default RSM ARMY PAY CORPS HELP?
Dear Forum

Could anybody please advise the correct colour piping for a RSM in the Royal Army Pay Corps please?

I have seen examples of the RSM sleve insignia piped red for Infantry Navy Blue for Royal Signals and Pale Sky Blue for Airborne.

I need to know what the colur would be for the RAPC? Would I be right in assuming officers cloth rank pips would share the same colur backing as well?

Thanks and best regards.

Yellow is the colour for the WO1's badge introduced in October 1945. Officers backing changed from Yellow to Dark Blue in June 1945.

Fantastic thanks for the quick response just got a nice long service WW2/Malaya/LSGC group to a RAPC RSM want to do it justice with the correct rank badges.

Much appreciated.
