12.01.2022 Hello All, Here are some simple 'snapshots' of the current issue period Royal Australian Artillery insignia set for Other Ranks. The undersized headdress badge shown here (below the hat badge), is the beret-sized item approved for wear by RAA Other Ranks. Note that the curent Army Standing Orders for Dress (ASOD), indicates that Commissioned officers are to use bullion badges when wearing a beret.

09.01.2022 Here is brief look at some of the more unusual rank insignia of the Australian Army. These shoulder boards come from a series of Mess Dress insignia, which was recently superseded in design. These items show a fully stitched WO2 shoulder board. That specimen is indicative of the full rank series, from Private up to Warrant Officer Class 2. Meanwhile, WO1 and RSM-A shoulder boards have metal rank insignia, beginning the series through to Lieutenant General. [ 182 more words ] http://charliebravobooks.com//adf-mess-dress-shoulder-boa/

05.01.2022 Hello All, As I'm sure many of you are aware, the Australian Army Cadets have had an ADF-approved revision to their hat badge in the pipeline for about 18 months now. Well, the new issue headdress item is now being seen in circulation. Here is an image of the new hat badge and a comparison image of the superseded item (despite the fact that the previous headdress item is still relatively new).
