In the Royal Artillery there are as follows for each Brigade and Battery, and each rank is distinguished by the following marks on the sleeve:—
| Brigade Sergeant-Major and Brigadier Quartermaster-Sergeant’s sleeve. | Assistant-Instructor in Gunnery. |
| Battery Sergeant-Major’s and Quartermaster-Sergeant’s sleeve. | Trumpet-Major’s sleeve. |
| Farrier-Major’s sleeve. Horse-shoe on stripes. | Collarmaker-Major’s sleeve. Bridle on stripes. |
| Wheeler-Major’s sleeve. | Orderly Room Sergeant, Staff-Clerk, Hospital-Sergeant, Paymaster-Sergeant. |
| Farrier-Sergeant. | Collarmaker-Sergeant. |
| Sergeant-Wheeler. | Battery-Armourer. |
| Sergeant and Staff-Clerk, 2nd and 3rd Class. | Corporal. |
| Bombardier. | Shoeing Smith. |
| Trumpeter. | Good Conduct Badge. |
It will be seen that the badges on the cuffs indicate a higher rank than when placed on the arm above the elbow: thus for Brigade Sergeant-Major and Orderly Room Sergeant the badge is the same; but one is on the cuff, the other above the elbow.
A man whose conduct has been good, and who has not received any punishment for a certain period, is granted a good conduct badge, which entitles him to one penny a day. Some Soldiers have three or four of these on their arm, but to distinguish these men from Sergeants, the peak of the badge points upwards, whereas that of the Sergeants, &c. is downwards.
The distinguishing marks for other branches of the army, although not strictly the same as those given above, are yet sufficiently alike to enable us to decide the rank and occupation of the various non-commissioned officers that we meet.
