gibbo Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Good evening everyone. Can you help with this rank identification?...I have a group of named medals to 2453958 S Singh Punjab Regiment. His rank on the GSM is Sepoy, on his 20 year service medal the rank is "NB Sub"...i`m assuming this is a junior commissioned officer rank of Subedar, but what does the "NB" stand for? ...any ideas?
Archer Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) NB Subr = Naib Subadar - equivalent rank of the old Jemadar. William Edited September 15, 2011 by Archer
peter monahan Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Yes, the translation of 'naib' is 'vice', so in this context 'vice-subedar'. Edited September 15, 2011 by peter monahan
