Not to say that some numpty did not wear a red one in error but he would be very wrong.

I not trying to be adversarial here - I haven't read Royal Signals dress regs.

But I would expect them to refer not to a uniform item for all Sgts and WOs but only to a duty sash when performing regimental duties, and as such not rank specific because as I understand it, Cpls sometimes do wear it when orderly corporal.

But it also begs another question, if Royal Signals Sgts and WOs all wear red sashes on Public Duties at Buckingham Palace which they do, surely that's contrary to their own dress regs?
