Reply to comment by Delvestius in What ranks were crew members of World War One tanks? by Delvestius

Gunner was a rank - basically the Royal Artillery equivalent of a private.

AFAIK Lance Bombardier & Bombardier was the RA equivalents to Lance Corporals and Corporals. I'm not sure why Fray Bentos is listed as having an LC serving in it - it might simply have been due the way ranks were structured at that exact time, and the fact the RA was three separate branches.
