Question:
Most Regiments (Canadian and UK) would dictate that officers would have (worsted) cloth rank pips used (with proper branch color) on their BD tunics with some exceptions.
I believe the UK Grenadier Guards officers used metal pips on their BD's,
as well as some Canadian guards units, as it was a Regimental tradition, right?
Question:
Could there have been instances where officers wore metal pips on their BD's
because of lack of proper cloth pips? and what about early in the war (1939-1940 era) were metal Service Dress pips also used on early BD's?
I know metal unit scrolls were sometimes observed early in the war on BD's. So metal pips as well?
I believe on KD (Khaki Drill) tan uniforms, metal pips as well as cloth pips both were both observed on such summer uniforms, correct?
(1 pip is damaged and has a broche pin attached...modified for some reason...)
