What were the ranks in the British Army? Was it; Private Lance Corporal Corporal Sergeant Sergeant Major ? And then was was higher than Sgt. Major? Thankyou!
It would also depend on unit. For example: Trooper, Gunner, Sapper etc. Basically meaning 'Private' within assorted different regiments. There are also other slight rank variations, and even ones of spelling, depending on which mob a given man served with, as there are in other WW2 participant armies. It can become quite complex 'translating' ranks, as there isn't always a direct comparator as one looks from Army to Army. ~A
