Corporal of horse (CoH) is a rank in the
servant. Since even the lowliest trooper in the Household Cavalry was once a gentleman, it was considered that such a rank was inappropriate. The rank of corporal of horse has existed since at least the 1660s, however it was only established as a rank equivalent of sergeant in the Household Cavalry from 1878 onwards.[1] The rank below is Lance-corporal of horse and that above is staff corporal
.
A corporal of horse wears three rank chevrons surmounted by a metal crown.[2] They are addressed using their full rank title.
