In the Caribbean, one chevron designates a lance corporal, two a corporal, and three a sergeant. A Staff/Colour Sergeant wears chevrons similar to that of sergeant with a crown placed above the chevrons. This insignia is worn on the right shirt or jacket sleeve of the uniforms. Chevrons worn in the Caribbean are usually either worsted embroidered (Green, Khaki or white) or machine stitched (black or white). 

The RQMS is the senior assistant to the Quartermaster of a regiment or battalion and also usually functions as the deputy Regimental Sergeant Major.

Regimental sergeants-major, who before the Boer War had worn four chevrons with a crown, were given in 1902 the badge of a single large crown on the lower arm, but adopted a small version of the Royal arms in its place in 1915 when they became warrant officers class I (WOI) as the warrant officer class extended. 

Metal crowns are either gold or brass finish. They come with a double shank with split pin fitting and brass base plate which protects the wrist band from damage by the crown and gives the crown extra brightness.
