The Daily Mail is erroneously referring to him as ‘Cpl’ or ‘Corporal’ in actual fact, he is ‘CoH’ or ‘Corporal of Horse’ which is the equivalent of a Sergeant. The Household Cavalry doesn’t have Sergeants because the word ‘Sergeant’ is etymologically descended from a word meaning ‘servant’ and the people who have historically joined the Cavalry regiments have been far too posh to accept being called a servant....

"...he is ‘CoH’ or ‘Corporal of Horse’ which is the equivalent of a Sergeant."

And we have a President who is the equivalent of an 'ass of horse.'
