Good idea to add the example for the form of address. I modified to use the ubiquitous British military surname "Bloggs"; the only reason I did was because when I first scanned the correction I was wondering what a CSgt had to do with the granting of colours (i.e. "Colour Grant"). I re-read in less haste, laughed at my daftness, but tweaked it for the benefit of any speedreaders who may be as daft. SigPig 08:07, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Featured photograph. edit
Why is a totally non representative image used of a Guards Colour sergeant addressing a lance sergeant used when the insignia of both ranks is non standard. The normal (British) insignia of a colour sergeant ( AKA staff sergeant, flight sergeant ) is three stripes surmounted by a crown. The rank of lance sergeant only exists in certain guards regiments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.77.171 (talk) 22:41, 29 October 2015 (UTC) 81.107.77.171 (talk)
- Actually, the appointment of lance sergeant (their rank, although it's never used, is corporal) exists in all Guards regiments. It also existed throughout the Army until after WWII. And a colour sergeant is not AKA staff sergeant or flight sergeant; it's an equivalent but different rank. You probably are correct that the photo needs changing though - the colour sergeant's rank insignia isn't even visible. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:23, 30 October 2015 (UTC)
