Royal Anglian Regt.: In No.2 Dress, do seargents where the white courlene belt with the brass buckle or the chrome plate with regimental badge? I understand that colour seargents where the plate, but I’m not sure of seargents.
“Sergeant Major is no longer a rank in the British Army” – this was never a rank but an appointment, the correct rank is Warrant Officer Class 2, the job carried out is CSM, BSM etc
Confused about Sergeant Major insignia
Remembering that in the British Army, Regimental Sergeant Major is an appointment, not a rank:-
The badge you display as the insignia of a Regimental Sergeant Major is in fact the rank badge of a Warrant Officer Class 1. Not all Warrant Officers Class 1 are appointed Regimental Sergeants Major.
How do you differentiate between a Warrant Officer Class 1 who has been appointed Regimental Sergeant Major and a Warrant Officer Class 1 who holds a different appointment?

Army Sergeant tie tack
I have a silver colored metal tie tack with what looks like 5 chevrons pointing down & 1 pointing up w/small indistinct symbol at the very top. British? What rank? Jerrie
Re: Army Sergeant tie tack
“5 chevrons pointing down & 1 pointing up”.
This sounds more like US insignia than British.
The way you describe it sounds like a drum sergeant major or of similar ilk
