Australian Ranks
Hi,
I have quite a few Australian ranks in my collection but there are a few I don't know much about, era, type of dress etc. Can anyone help with identifying these. http://www.britishbadgeforum.com/for...hp?albumid=629 Many thanks, Bill

Hi Snowdrop 68,
The other one is also WO2 or CSM as they were called in my days. It appears to be on Jungle Green cloth if this is the case it would be a CSM worn six inches down from the shoulder or on the left sleeve six inches up from the wrist in dress uniform. John

Thanks John,
Have you seen my others in my album? I need help with who wore them, when and on what uniform. WO2 is indeed still CSM, SSm, etc, I'm in the RAF with the Royal Tank Regiment on my unit so I'm constantly reminded of the army ranks.....normally when I call a SSgt Flight Sergeant!!!! They don't like it!!  Thanks again Bill
