Default Recruiter

Although traditionally worn by a Recruiting Sergeant, as a badge of appointment the crossed flags with crown above is worn by any rank from Corporal to WO1 on recruiting duties.

Here is an example on a dpm rank slide for a 9th/12th Lancer recruiter.

I am in New Zealand at the top of Northland. WiFi is a bit patchy! I will persevere.
