Tom W. Posted 9 July , 2012 Share Posted 9 July , 2012 Is he wearing a bombing proficiency badge, and why are the two lower stripes of his rank insignia a different color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tn.drummond Posted 9 July , 2012 Share Posted 9 July , 2012 Sergeant Bombing Instructor (someone will correct if I'm wrong on this). Newly promoted and all that was available ? - particularly if in theatre. Suddery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Sweeney Posted 9 July , 2012 Share Posted 9 July , 2012 Two different Chevron types--Corporal (with a crosshatch design) with an added stripe of the more conventional design. I think more likely a Canadian Engineer than a Bomber or Bombing instructor. Joe Sweeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon1357 Posted 9 July , 2012 Share Posted 9 July , 2012 As Joe Sweeney says, the photo above depicts a newly promoted sgt. of the Royal Canadian Engineers. The upper chevron sewn above the existing Corporal chevon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 10 July , 2012 Share Posted 10 July , 2012 The last entry is probably correct. If Canada followed British practice, the grenade [on each arm] would denote full sergeant as opposed to lance-sergeant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
