Lance-Corporal In A Tank Crew?

[Spurrat]

On an off note, my Grandfather who was a trooper during the war, was quite offended when I, after receiving my chevron "stripe" in transport company was still called a private.

He thought that a private who had his trade training should receive some recognition.

He was quite proud when I had attained this stripe and referred to me as a lance corporal.

My 2 cents.
