Talk:Stormwind Army Knight Ranks/@comment-27186959-20160109104858/@comment-26581666-20160109133354

Just my personal thoughts, but shouldn't Knight-[Place Rank Here]s be higher ranking that the non-knighted version of the rank? Considering they're knighted and (theoretically) should be more experienced than their non-knighted counterparts.

So something like:

Knight

Ensign*/Second Lieutenant/etc

Cornet(Knight-Ensign?)**

Lieutenant

Knight-Lieutenant

Captain

Knight-Captain

Major/High Captain/Captain Major***/etc

Knight-Champion


 * Ensign was the old name for a Second Lieutenant, they were named after the regimental banner, as it was their job to carry it.


 * Cornet was the cavalry equivalent of an Ensign (Second Lieutenant) in early armies, named for the fact that they carried a type of trumpet called a cornet.


 * Early name for a Major, as the term "Major" generally meant "the rank above this rank" (eg. Sergeant Major)
