    British Badges Worn during Reign of Queen Elizabeth II


    Recommended Posts

    Glenn.

    Thanks again and you are of course right. I have that badge and can replace it. What is that rank when worn by a band Warrant Officer? I have a lot of You Tube footage of Foot Guards Bands and I did notice while most of the badges were on a blue backing, I clearly saw a member of the Irish Guards Band with one on a red backing. Must be an anomaly.

    Regards

    Bruce,

    Band Sergeant Major. The Bandmaster (WO1) wears a small Royal coat of Arms on the lower right arm as opposed to the large badge as worn by the Regimental Sergeant Major on the upper right arm. Note that Foot Guards RSMs assigned to positions outside their parent battalion (unless a former RSM of a Foot Guards battalion) also wear the small coat of arms on the lower arm.

    Regards

    Glenn
