Uniform shoulder pips (crowns)

Four brass shoulder pips worn by Clarissa MacNeill as part of her uniform. Four pips gives her the rank of Lieutenant (2 on each shoulder epaulet) as a Nurse in the Canadian Army Medical Corps.
The design on the pips "Tria Juncta in Uno" around 3 crowns is taken from the Order of Bath -
"Field grade officers (Major, Lieutenant Colonel, Colonel) first began to wear distinctive rank badges in 1810, with captains and subalterns adopting insignia of their own in 1855. This was the first use of the crown and rank stars. The rank star chosen across the British Army was that of the Order of the Bath, though "Household" regiments wore different patterns of stars. Canadian Guards regiments also inherited this tradition." [www.canadiansoldiers.com]
