Sergeant Major, Auckland Engineer Volunteers, 1898.jpg

This senior soldier of the Corps wears a variation of the prescribed 1895 uniform. The FS cap is as ordered with red flap piping. The jacket is ornamented with red piping, but has an Engineer’s crow’s foot knot on the cuffs instead of the dictated Austrian type. On the right forearm are his badges of rank in lace and embroidery.

The trousers have a thick red stripe down the outer seams.

The photographs below show the officers of the unit in undress uniform (jacket below), and the other ranks in '95 pattern uniforms. But with only five buttons on the front and crow's foot knots on the cuffs.
