== The Honourable and Ancient Appointment of Conductor - Royal Army Ordnace Ordnance Corps ==
The appointment of Conductor is said to be the highest non-commissioned in the British Army other than the Accadany Academy Sergeant Major at Sandhurst. Thus Conductors and ex-conductors guard the history, facts and figues figures with regard to it very closely.
I put the passage about conductors in the Honorable East India Compoany on the Royal Army Ordnance Corps website, and expected a wave, if not an explosion of replies. But I was disappointed.
