Notes
[edit]- ^ In full dress, the colour badge consists of the king's colour of the respective regiment above two crossed swords and below the imperial crown, all imposed over a gold three-bar chevron. In service dress, the insignia is the same as that worn in the rest of the British Army.
- ^ Corporals in the foot guards are automatically appointed lance sergeant and wear a three-bar chevron. In full dress, a lance sergeant's chevrons are white, whilst a substantial sergeant's chevrons are gold. In service dress, lance sergeants and sergeants wear a three-bar chevron of the same colours. However, full sergeants also wear a red sash across their right shoulder. Additionally, the cap badge of a sergeant may differ from that of a lance sergeant. Lance sergeants are allowed privileges normally reserved for sergeants in the British Army.[1]
- ^ Lance corporals in the foot guards wear a two-bar chevron instead of a one-bar chevron
