There is a difference between being a trooper and being a trouper!

There is a difference between being a trooper and being a trouper!

Trooper from the French "troupier" is the equivalent rank to private in a regiment with a cavalry tradition in the British Army and many other Commonwealth armies, including those of Australia, Canada, South Africa and New Zealand.




Today, most cavalry units operate in the armoured role, equipped with tanks or other armoured fighting vehicles.




Some armoured regiments without a cavalry tradition do not use the rank, a notable exception being the British Royal Tank Regiment which follows the naming conventions of it's fellow regiments in the Royal Armoured Corps.




On the other hand, a trouper is someone who works very hard, is very reliable, and does not complain when there are problems.




Hopefully you won’t confuse these two anymore!
