In Response To: Re: [Gen'l Info] "Lance" Rank for NCOs (Mike Davies)

That's an interesting point, Mike. You made me look into Margaret Moore's "Understanding British English," where I found the term "lance-jack" defined as an "Army rank below corporal." Maybe we're on the right track. Anyone have ready access to the Oxford English Dictionary?
