==History of title==
{{Expand section|date=October 2018}}
In origin, certain senior [[sergeant]]s were assigned to administrative, supervisory, or other specialist duties as part of the staff of a [[British Army]] [[Regimental system#British Army|regiment]]. As such they held seniority over sergeants who were members of a [[battalion]] or [[Company (military unit)|company]], and were paid correspondingly increased wages. Their seniority was indicated by a crown worn above the three sergeant's stripes on their uniform rank markings.<ref>{{cite web |url = https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/british-army-ranks |title = British Army ranks |publisher = National Army Museum |location= United Kingdom|access-date = 17 April 2018 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-badges/staff-sgt.htm |title = Staff Sergeant; A history of the rank and some examples of the badge |publisher = Digger History |access-date = 17 April 2018 }}</ref>
