Portugal Second corporal () is an enlisted rank of the
army and the
air force. Its rank insignia is a single
chevron. The rank is immediately below
first corporal (). The rank of second corporal was created in the late 19th century to replace the former rank of
lance-corporal ().
United Kingdom Second corporal was a former rank in the
Royal Engineers and
Army Ordnance Corps of the
British Army. Second corporals wore one rank chevron like
lance-corporals, but unlike the latter, which was an appointment, they held full
non-commissioned officer rank. They were thus equivalent to
bombardiers in the
Royal Artillery. The rank was abolished in 1920. ==Gallery==
