§ Sir W. H. DAVIESasked the Under-Secretary of State for War whether, when Royal Engineer officers are serving as staff officers Royal Engineers, they may be allowed to wear similar badges to officers serving from other branches of combatant service instead of being required, as now, to wear badges more indicative of non-combatant services?
§ Mr. TENNANTCertain dress distinctions are alloted to specified appointments, and the holders of these appointments wear the allotted distinctions irrespective of the branch of the Service to which they belong. Staff officers Royal Engineers are included among the Technical Staff and as such wear the same dress distinctions as other officers holding Technical Staff appointments.
