Steven Broomfield Posted 15 August , 2015 Share Posted 15 August , 2015 Probably about 1922, when (for example) Privates in Line Cavalry regiments became Troopers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Div Posted 15 August , 2015 Author Share Posted 15 August , 2015 Thanks. Somehow I thought that was the correct period but got confused by TNA records for WW1 which often show rank as rifleman rather than private. Regards 10Div Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
