I was just talking to the Adjt of the Highland regiment here. They had discussions on what they should call their soldiers. In the end they decided on "Private". The Armoured regiment here has always called their trained soldiers Troopers, and I've never seen the arty call their junior ranks anything other than Gunner and Bombardier. Glad to see NDHQ has finally caught up with the real world. Perhaps they should get out more.
