Is not the gun badge part of the rank insignia and therefore the PTI qualification badge as such correctly worn above the rank insignia? Willing to be corrected of course.

Willing to be corrected of course. It is correct until you add a crown, at which point the swords go below it even though the crown is part of a rank badge too.

johnboy Posted 12 July , 2017 Share Posted 12 July , 2017 Doesn't appear to have any military records on FMP. A MiC might be on TNA. Only possible is this man but you would have to assume that he was probably aged around 21yrs of age at the time.
