Warrant Officer and NCO Rank Insignia

Battledress and Tropical Worsted Uniform

A new and slightly smaller pattern of rank insignia was gradually introduced between 1945 and about 1953. Second World War patterns of stripes were sometimes worn well into the 1950s. The pattern of crown on the Warrant Officer and Staff Sergeant's badges officially changed from King's Crown to Queen's Crown in 1953, but old patterns were worn well into the late 1950s. Battledress rank insignia was worn as slip-ons on the parka until the introduction of combat pattern rank insignia.
