Staff officers insignia


Guest

Recommended Posts

Good evening everyone,

 

I have only just joined the forum so forgive if this has been asked before.

 

I’ve been looking for information about staff officers, particularly uniforms, insignia buttons etc.

 

A basic run down of who wore what with what would be a useful start.

 

Any information will be gratefully received

These diagrams give a contemporary  indication of the different cap badges, cap peak decoration and gorgets (collar tabs) worn by general staff officers.

Here is my great grandfather who as a staff officer in the 53rd Div Arty, was based in a Cairo desk for ages  - he was itching to get out and get into action (in the Palestine campaign - he finally got there with Allenby's great push).
