NR72 Posted 7 July , 2019 Share Posted 7 July , 2019 Hi all, Question - I have continually heard post 1916 the RND Wearing RN rate on left arm and the equivalent army rank on the right The only time I have see this I s on 2 photos , firstly a lad from Hawke Bn wearing a lance corporal stripe to denote him being a AB higher grade and Chief Flook wearing a Army crown on his lower right sleeve. Has anyone Seen and can show me a Leading hand wearing corporals stripes or a Petty Officer wearing Sargents stripes ? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NR72 Posted 8 July , 2019 Author Share Posted 8 July , 2019 (edited) Excellent thank you Mike , it seems it wasn't always done then, I've seen lots of photos of POs just wearing Naval rate Edited 8 July , 2019 by NR72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNCVR Posted 16 February , 2020 Share Posted 16 February , 2020 (edited) Hi NR, That PO insignia has seen a bit of hard service for sure, a nice worn example tho! Yes mine is original, have had it many yrs, I have several Victorian\Edwardian & 1WW era badges in my collection but have been gradually selling them off as getting on in yrs & feel time to unload. I had a 1WW vintage LS (red embroidery on khaki) hook also but sold it when I sold LS ranks off earlier in yr. Bryan Edited 16 February , 2020 by RNCVR ..

RNCVR Posted 16 February , 2020 Share Posted 16 February , 2020 I have a large Victorian\Edwardian\1WW era photo collection of RN ratings wearing badges of all types. I might have some RND, I could check but it may tak me a while to go thru them. Normally I did not focus on RND but if a good photo came up that I liked I might have something. Leave it with me.
