Warrant Officer Class II WWII era

[Phill Lockett]

Hi friends

Once again I need to be educated on the below 4 WO2 ranks.

Is this normal to have different variations (of this type design and construction).

What is the smaller WO2?

I looked at grey green acorn's excellent WO badges of rank and appointments however I'm none the wiser on, The Kings Crown in Wreath 1918-38,1938-47 and 1947 onwards to 1953.

I suspect from the embroidery style that these may all be from Canada or Australia. Similar variations in size and manufacture occur in British Army crown in wreath badges.

Thanks Tim

I did look at your album.

Now that you have pointed out, I can see the difference in construction and the ones I have a greener background as opposed to British Brown background?

They all looked the same at first look!!

They are quite large 2 x 9cm x7.5cm,1 x 8x7cm,1 6cm x 7.5cm, would that be the same size as British WO2?

I can confirm they are Canadian.

Thanks Simon

Would that be because of the background colour,construction and design?

Size firstly, shape and colours.
