Muerrisch Posted 13 October , 2016 Share Posted 13 October , 2016 I'll tell you one thing: one is a long time as a Lieutenant General, especially if the new-look forum arbitrarily knocks hundreds and hundreds off the total posts with a wave of the wand.

Muerrisch Posted 13 October , 2016 Share Posted 13 October , 2016 In peacetime, you would not. Either a servant, or an orderly. You will have to pay him the set rate [on top of his soldier's pay], and provide him with "plen cluths" for when you are in mufti and he accompanies you. He must also serve in the Mess for formal occasions as required. And, note, he is to be, and remain, a trained soldier, and to volunteer for the post. Well treated, he will serve you loyally. Ill-treated, and he will spit [or worse] in your soup.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Tom Posted 13 October , 2016 Share Posted 13 October , 2016 The allocation of ranks depending on the number of posts is amusing and does no harm, but, I feel bound to ask, has it got to do with the Great War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Informs the novice of the army hierarchy perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 14 October , 2016 Share Posted 14 October , 2016 it cannot, can it? The newcomer only sees stasis, surely? And the early progression through a few junior ranks tells only a short story. The novice has to be very observant to see much happening above field rank.
