Does anyone have the WW2 Dress reg's with regards to mounting insignia on Battle dress?
I have a BD with the Sgts Rank mounted quite low, and have seen photos, as well as other BD with the same. However, what was the standard? Anyone who has been in a Commonwealth Army will know that there are standards and no Sgt would go around with his Rank mounted on his elbow. Not to say it did not happen, and I have had a vet comment on my BD and say it was all ok, and I explained exactly what i wanted to know regards to how the rank was mounted. It seems most BD have the Rank mounted and then the badges are a bit bunched together looking, although they had alot of flashy insignia and div badges then. I guess the main reason is did somebody with no Military background mount insignia "thinking" they know what they are doing on mine and I have not been told. I have yet to see it in person and don't doubt the vet!
Anyone have more to offer?
Regards
Pete
