There were talks and proposal to address the number of general officers without abolishing the rank, but it was found that this would produce a number of issues and was considered impracticable. In 1920 it was promulgated in Army Order 545 of 1920 to abolish the rank of Brigadier General and substitute in its place the ranks <a href="/wiki/Colonel_commandant" title="Colonel commandant">Colonel Commandant</a> (commander of a brigade or training school) and <a href="/wiki/Colonel_on_the_staff" class="mw-redirect" title="Colonel on the staff">Colonel-on-the-Staff</a> (staff officer, usually appointed Directors, Deputy Director etc. at the War Officer and in India), effective from 1 January 1921.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The rank badges of Colonel Commandant and Colonel on the staff were identical to each other, consisting of a crown and three stars. After difficulties arose for those who previously held the rank of brigadier-general; <a href="/wiki/George_Curzon,_1st_Marquess_Curzon_of_Kedleston" title="George Curzon, 1st Marquess Curzon of Kedleston">Earl Curzon</a> stated that: "…British Military Attaches at foreign capitals who at present hold the rank of Brigadier-General…will lose precedence and prestige and will have to yield in both respects to foreign officers…". The Secretary of State refused to make an exception for Military Attaches, on the advice of the Army Council. However, following this, difficulties arose in India, as in the minds of the Indian personnel commanders of brigades had lost prestige, as the term Colonel conveys the command of battalions. In 1926 Formal consent by the King to substitute Colonel Commandant with Brigadier was given, however after further issues were raised, the matter was reopened and on reconsideration it was decided to abolish the title of Colonel-on-the-Staff also. Accordingly, on 1 June 1928, the temporary rank of brigadier was reinstated, and the titles of Colonel Commandant and Colonel-on-the-Staff were abolished. The Army Order stated,</p><blockquote><p>"Officers holding the temporary rank of brigadier will have precedence of, and command over all other colonels. Among them- selves they will take precedence according to their permanent rank. They will wear the same dress (including rank badges) as at present prescribed for colonels commandant and colonels on the staff."<sup id="cite_ref-:0_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p>Brigadiers have held the same rank insignia, of the Colonel Commandant and Colonels-on-the-Staff since 1928. </p><div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Regimental_officers">Regimental officers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=British_Army_officer_rank_insignia&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Regimental officers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444"><table class="box-More_citations_needed plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/British_Army_officer_rank_insignia" title="Special:EditPage/British Army officer rank insignia">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a> in this section.

The following devices were introduced in the epaulettes: </p> <ul><li>Colonel: Crown and <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter" title="Order of the Garter">Garter</a> star</li> <li>Lieutenant Colonel: Crown</li> <li>Major: Garter star</li></ul> <p>These badges were issued for all infantry regiments except the <a href="/wiki/Foot_Guards" class="mw-redirect" title="Foot Guards">Foot Guards</a>. In 1815, badges for Foot Guards were ordered. In Foot Guards regiments, all Field Officers were equivalent to the Colonels of line infantry regiments. Captains were equivalent to Lieutenant Colonels, Lieutenants were equivalent to Majors and Ensigns were equivalent to Captains of Battalion companies. </p> <ul><li>Field Officers: Crown and star (<a href="/wiki/Grenadier_Guards" title="Grenadier Guards">Grenadier Guards</a> and <a href="/wiki/Coldstream_Guards" title="Coldstream Guards">Coldstream Guards</a> used the Garter star, and <a href="/wiki/Scots_Fusilier_Guards" class="mw-redirect" title="Scots Fusilier Guards">Scots Fusilier Guards</a> used the <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Thistle" title="Order of the Thistle">Thistle</a> star).</li> <li>Captain: Crown</li> <li>Lieutenant: Star</li> <li>Ensign: No device. (Ensigns of the Grenadier Guards wore epaulettes on both shoulders, but the Ensigns of the other two regiments wore a single epaulette on the right shoulder.)</li></ul> <p>In 1829, epaulettes and wings were standardised by maintaining the badges of rank issued in 1810 and 1815. According to the order, epaulettes of all regular infantry regiments and foot guards regiments would be in gold and other regiments were in silver. All officers including field and company officers wore epaulettes and wings on both shoulders. The epaulettes over wings system was abolished. Different graded officer wore different sized bullion to distinguish themselves from other. </p> <ul><li>Colonel: Epaulette bullions were three and half inches in length. Insignia was a Crown and a <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath" title="Order of the Bath">Bath</a> star.</li> <li>Lieutenant Colonel: Epaulette bullions were three and half inches in length. Insignia was a Crown.</li> <li>Major: Epaulette bullions were three inches in length. Insignia was a Bath star.</li> <li>Captain of Battalion company: Epaulette bullion were two and half inches in length. No insignia device.</li> <li>Subaltern of Battalion company: Epaulette bullion were two inches in length. No insignia device.</li> <li>Captain of <a href="/wiki/Flank_companies" class="mw-redirect" title="Flank companies">Flank companies</a>: Wings bullions were one and quarter inches in length and half inches in wide.</li> <li>Subalterns of Flank companies: Wings bullions were one and quarter inches in length and quarter inches in wide.</li></ul> <p>In January 1855, at the end of the Crimean War, the War Office abolished all epaulette and wing rank badges. New rank badges were introduced in the collar. It was first time that a complete set of rank badges was used by the British Army. </p> <ul><li>Colonel: Two rows of half inch laces in collar with Crown and Bath star.</li> <li>Lieutenant Colonel: Two rows of half inch laces in collar with Crown.</li> <li>Major: Two rows of half inch laces in collar with Bath star.</li> <li>Captain: One row of half inch lace on the top of collar with Crown and Bath star.</li> <li>Lieutenant: One row of half inch lace on the top of collar with Crown.</li> <li>Ensign/Sub Lieutenant: One row of half inch lace on the top of collar with Bath star.</li></ul> <p>In April 1880, rank badges were moved from collar to shoulder and officers of all regiments wore the following rank badges. </p> <ul><li>Colonel: Crown and two <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Bath" title="Order of the Bath">Bath</a> stars.</li> <li>Lieutenant Colonel: Crown and one Bath star.</li> <li>Major: Crown.</li> <li>Captain: Two Bath stars.</li> <li>Lieutenant: One Bath star.</li> <li>Second Lieutenant: No device.</li></ul> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg/220px-British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="151" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg/330px-British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg/440px-British_Army_Guards_officers_stars.jpg 2x" data-file-width="500" data-file-height="343" /></a><figcaption>The rank insignia for officers are also differentiated by what specific stars are used.<br />Left to right: Grenadier, Coldstream, and Welsh Guards (Garter); Scots Guards (Thistle); Irish Guards (Shamrock); other army officers (Bath).</figcaption></figure> <p>In May 1902, rank badges were moved to sleeve's cuff and company-grade officer badges were slightly modified:<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul><li>Captain: Three Bath stars.</li> <li>Lieutenant: Two Bath stars.</li> <li>Second Lieutenant: One Bath star.</li></ul> <p>In 1919, a new order was issued by the Horse Guards office—all Guards officers would wear special star badges. </p> <ul><li>Grenadier Guards: <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter" title="Order of the Garter">Garter</a> star.</li> <li>Coldstream Guards: Garter star.</li> <li>Scots Guards: <a href="/wiki/Order_of_the_Thistle" title="Order of the Thistle">Thistle</a> star.</li> <li>Irish Guards: <a href="/wiki/Order_of_St._Patrick" class="mw-redirect" title="Order of St. Patrick">Shamrock star</a></li> <li>Welsh Guards: Garter star.</li></ul> <p>During <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, some officers took to wearing tunics with the rank badges on the shoulder, as the cuff badges made them too conspicuous to snipers.
