jeffb said:How about captions that get ranks wrong? "Pte Harris from 1 RCHA" instead of Gnr.
From a purely pedantic standpoint, the caption is correct. "Gunner", "Sapper", "Trooper" and other such ranks are not authorized for use in the CF. They appear in a table to the NDA, but the QR&Os are clear that only certain ranks are approved for use. Pte, Cpl etc are OK for use; those in naval DEUs are authorized the use of AB,, LS etc; but the old names are not currently authorized for use.
(That everyone does in fact use them is a different topic entirely)
