Greetings Poppy18

I am happy that you present and commemorate the memory of Ernest just before 100 years of that sad day.

I learned something from this rank of Sub Conductor,and Conductor,having only come across this in the Indian Army rankings and presuming that it was just their rank,but it isn't as I now know. If you were wondering what the duties were you can read this :
