§ Sir J. LONSDALEasked the Under-Secretary for War whether the service jacket is the only order of dress in which officers are required to wear their badges of rank prominently displayed, together with one or more lines of braid on the cuff; whether officers of the staff and of certain corps are excepted from this regulation; and whether the advisability of allowing all officers to resume the custom of wearing these badges on the shoulder straps, as in all other uniforms, has been or will be considered?
46W
§ Mr. TENNANTThe answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative; to the second, that general officers and colonels holding staff appointments wear the badges of rank on the shoulder strap, not on the sleeve. The question of wearing badges of rank on the shoulder has been considered.
