For Europeans in the [[East India Company Armies]] and later the [[Indian Army]], ranks were for the most part the same as those in the [[British Army]]. Medical service employees were also given a military rank.
==Officers==
From among the Lts would be chosen an Adjutant and usually an Interprteter and Quarter-Master. In addition, the Regiment would have attached to it one or two Surgeons, a Veterinary Surgeon and a Riding Master, the latter a warrant officer.
==Other Ranks==
===Warrant Officers===
The lowest ranked soldier is a Private. In the Artillery, a private was in earlier days known as a [[matross]], and later as a gunner.
