Cavalry.
You can remember because "calvaria" = a skull, esp. the top, and "cavallus" = horse (in Late Latin).
That said, women have no place in combat units. I'm a huntin' fishin' shootin' kind of gal, and I got a lot of muscular strength from my dad's line so I can generally do a man's work, even pushing 60. But I know I am not and was never suited for that sort of work. Inadequate upper body strength.
Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve even seen a few TV shows where the main actor said Calvary, when talking about a possible rescue from a bad situation. Unbelievable!
Thanks for sharing a great mnemonic!
Woo-hoo!
That is mis-said soooo often.
In modern mechanized warfare a lady at the controls might have a fair chance. Assuming this was not a lady driver (duck’n & runn’n).
Anyhow, now the squad cannot be addressed as “men.” “Ladies and gentlemen”?
