Image description

The origin of epaulettes, An Admiral, Present Day. The epaulette first became a sign of military rank during the eighteenth century in France. Other countries in time adopted the epaulette, but it was not at first used in the Royal Navy. This resulted in British naval officers losing a certain measure of prestige abroad, a matter rectified in 1795 by the granting of epaulettes. Originally the epaulette consisted of a limp fringe attached to the shoulder strap, and was worn on both shoulders by Admirals and Senior Captains. Junior Captains wore an epaulette on the right shoulder only, Commanders and Masters on the left shoulder only. Epaulettes are now worn with ceremonial dress on both shoulders by all officers above the rank of Sub-Lieutenant. Illustration for one of a set of 50 cigarette cards on the subject of Interesting Customs and Traditions of the Navy, Army and Airforce issued by Lambert & Butler in 1939.
