Rank Markings - Officers,
Since 1971 |
The following set of
rank markings were introduced in September 1971 and are still worn today.
The rank of Brigadier General was only introduced in
the mid 1970's. Note the quality of the rank marking for the Brigadier General. What was produced was a poor variation of
the General's rank marking. Worse still, it was accepted, and for many years
was worn by officers of Generals rank. On the
instruction of one particular Chief-of-Staff, the original design was later reintroduced.
