Try
http://www.adfa.oz.au/DOD/recruit/rank-off.htm
http://www.adfa.oz.au/DOD/recruit/rank-enl.htm
And delete the "Australia" bit.
The brit WO1 (ie RSM) insignia is the traditional Lion and Unicorn UK
Coat of Arms. The brit WO2 (CSM) is the same as the Oz version.
The positions of the chevrons are the same as in the US, but with the
pointy bit down. The other insignia of army rank are only on the
shoulder tabs.
