I understand that L/Sgt's wear 3 white chevrons on their tunics and Sgt's 3 gold chevrons. Thats to differenciate between both ranks. Is there any differences between them when they use grey coats? Thanks

The only other members of the Brigade of Guards to wear what we called the "Gold kit" were the Blues and Royals and Lifeguards Bands which formed the mounted Squadrons of the Household Cavalry Regiment. The State Trumpeters which were formed from the band also wore this uniform. Apart from this we wore our "Blues" or "Reds" which included the helmets with plumes. Mounted or dismounted required another dress standard.
