Scots Guards Question

[uscob]

Wonder what Rank this is?
I only knew it with Chevrons in Combination.

[Dave Alexander]

CSM (Company Sergeant Major).

[uscob]

Dave,
thank's a lot for the Info.
Makes sense then with all the Ribbons. Maybe to much for a Private.

Could also be a Drill Sergeant. It's the insignia of a Warrant officer 2nd. class.

[uscob]

Thanks for the update.
So it's like the Crown in the regular Army?

With a spot of PTI thrown in for good measure......crossed sabres,

The Guards wear this style of insignia on the Home Service [red] tunic and on the Blues to denote CSM or Drill Sergeant/W.O.2. The design varies , depending on which of the Guards regiments it is. The crossed swords don't indicate PTI .

Thank's for the update. The thing with the Swords I know an also the different designs. I have the complete Sete of Mess Dress Mini's and some of the Full Size Insignia. But as said before, up to date I knew them only in Combination with the Chevrons.

The version with chevrons is for a Colour Sergeant.

That I know. Many Years I had a Full Dress Tunic with 2 chevrons and a Flag.
What's that.
While thinking of this, I remember a story, how a friend got his first Bear Skin, I think from the GG. He worked as a painter for the British Forces in Berlin and one morning he had to paint some Barracks Rooms and entered the Hallway and saw some drunken Guards, playing Soccer with a BS. Suddenly, the RSM came in, grabbed the BS and asked my friend "He Peter, you allway's asked me for a BS, here you have one". Was really hard for the original Owner, as he had to buy a new one on his own expense.

Two chevrons and a flag isn't a Guards rank that I know. Was it definately a Guards tunic?

My first beaskin cap was rescued from a skip [dumpster],along with the guy's Home Service tunic and belt , where his wife had dumped them after his death - an Irish Guards Regimental Sergeant Major, no less.

Is your tunic named, by the way ?

[uscob]

Think it was a CC and it came from an Army Source.
The SG looks like C/SuT Corbett. Maybe the "u" is something else.

The "u" is probably whats left of a "g' that faded.

[uscob]

not faded

Obviously "Sgt" scribbled quickly with a ballpoint pen.
