    Kings crown emblem...large


    Recommended Posts

    I think you are mistaking Jerry, it is a Warrant Officer III

    The Warrant Officers (WO's) wear their badges of rank on both lower sleeves.

    I was told by an old WO2 that the WO3 were made obsolete in about 1942, the obsolete crowns were issued to the Staff Sergeants to wear over their 3 chevrons, as can also be seen in many photos of those days.

     

    Enclosed a page from a 1943 booklet containing insignia of the British Army, Navy, R.A.F. and Auxialiaries.
