Other Ranks

Gilding-metal (Other Ranks) c1922-28
This badge is smaller than the later two "designs" by 1/8 of an inch (2mm).
This badge was short lived and replaced the economy badge that the Other Ranks wore from c1916-22. Its design was taken directly from the Officers badge illustrated above (see also below). It existed for 6-5 years before Col. G R Codrington changed the pattern in 1928.


Seen worn by 255368 Trooper E Walls post 1922.
