I'm having aa senior moment. but Volunteer / TF length of service or range judging?

Just remembered - worn above inverted chevrons on lower sleeve by TQMS?

I've forgotten so much - and haven't got books to hand.

Hi Leigh, It's been awhile, hope all is well.   I only have Jean Bouchery's "The British Soldier" reference which is limited so thanks for the start point.

Not in this book, not sure its British

British army RQMS wore it above 4 inverted chevrons on the lower sleeve until 1915 when the badge became a crown within laurel wreath. I don't have books to hand, unfortunately.

Cheers Leigh, had it down as Australian

That's the one - it could bebe Australian - I realised after I posted that I'd have done better to mention empire / commonwealth.

Johns one looks like it's on KD rather than SD?

Graham & Grumpy would have this badge nailed within seconds.
