So, the "g" spelling is the arriviste version and the real question should be why anyone does NOT use "j". Bugsy LE. Tawahi said:. But that's nothing, you should see how the Gunners spell Corporal.

Earlier records talk of serJeants but at the time they were written spelling was generally optional. Concerning our spelling of Sergeant: "Serjeant" spelt with a "J" is peculiar to the British and New Zealand armies and is used in connection with those services only. The British army did not change its spelling to "Sergeant" with a "G" until November As we commemorate those who died during the two world wars only, the "Serjeant" spelling is historically correct.
I hope that this will clarify the situation for you. It can still be found in Queen's Regs The G spelling is much commoner and is used by the Official History. The RAF has never used the J spelling. The Rifles still use Serjeant with a "j". KRR's always used Serjeant and also after amalgamation in to the Royal Greenjackets as 2nd battalion. They also wear black buttons and call bayonets 'swords' Squirrel.
It's a case of maintaining a difference and calling it tradition. The discussion over the correct spelling of the rank is however academic as both spellings were in common use during the Great War as is demonstrated in official documents and War Diaries etc. It would be wrong to change the spelling in a specific case just because the General Staff did not feel it necessary to rule on the matter until Whatever the spelling the rank is the same.
Thanks Peter, I'm quite familar with the "traditions" of the Rifle Regiments. KRR's also used the designation Colour Serjeant although the regiment never carried colours. Rifle Regiments, 60th King's Royal Rifle Corps and 95th Rifle Brigade were skirmishers and marksmen unlike the line infantry which as the name suggests fought in line. They wore green uniforms and were trained to act on their own initiative.
Tradition forms a huge part of the regimental system in the British Army, but each amalgamation is a hard ask of the regiments. They must decide which traditions are kept and which are lost through sequential amalgamations.
The Rifles carries in spirit the names and heritage of more than 20 regiments that had been in existence in the 19 th century. Fully representing the traditions of these regiments and their successors is impossible and so difficult decisions had to be made about what was kept and what was lost.
The outcome is a fascinating mix of traditions and practices representing the heritage of as many of its ancestor regiments as possible. When The Rifles was formed it was very quickly decided that the Bugle—iconic from the perspective of The Light Infantry—would form the cap badge of the regiment.
In this instance it was formed simply of the bugle and strings, surmounted by the St. What is the Irish Guards motto? Quis Separabit What are the Irish police called?
