Default QAIMNS Question

I hope I am asking this question in the right place. I have just received a nice QAIMNS title, and when I looked at the invoice it was listed as "QAIMNS(R)".

My question is was this title worn by both he QAIMNS and he the QAIMNS(R)?

Thanks,

Terry

It does not answer your question, but I have a Lieutenant's khaki drill Indian made slip-on (dated c 1946/47) bearing the title QAIMNSR (i.e. neither one thing nor the other!). Also a BD blouse to the same lady bearing shoulder titles Q.A.I.M.N.S. (in white on maroon). The latter is John Waring 1/T462).

Mike, Many thanks, as I feel that does answer my question. Any chance you could share pictures, as I would love to see them?
