My understanding is that the word "lieutenant" comes from the Norman French
for "assistant". So if you are
an assistant to a colonel does that now make you a "lieutenant colonel"? Or
do you have to wait a week or two?
If Mike O‘leary is listening - please don‘t jump into this sillyness or "I
will be a Bugle Boy in the morning"
Now that was an appointment that existed on the books of our army until at
least 1940. A Bugle Boy received half the daily rate of pay of a private.
And please don‘t ask me for a Bugle Boy‘s job description.
