When did, in most regiments, did the crown on its own become the CSM/BSM badge leaving the crown and k laurel leaves for the RQMS??
Other threads on here have that PSM with a badge and title went in 1948 but is it safe to assume (never assume - check!) that CSM/BSM became crown only at the same time and RQMS crown and wreath - haven't yet seen a definitive answer but thanks for your interest anyway. Max
