The rank of Master Gunner, Class III appears in military regulations however, no corresponding badge is shown in dress regulations. The badge shown was that worn in the British Army.
The appointment of Regimental or Brigade Sergeant-Major (when not a Warrant Officer) is shown in dress regulations and the badge pictured below described in those regulations. In the military regulations of 1904 this is shown as a rank, those of 1908 show it as an appointment however, the corresponding rank is not shown. In order of precedence it ranks above the rank of Quartermaster Sergeant.
Staff Sergeant-Major is shown in the order of precedence and ranks with Master Gunner Class III and Brigade or Regimental Sergeant-Major. It does not appear however, in the table of ranks and appointments and whether it is a rank or an appointment is therefore not known.
