The Sergeantâs Self-Respect
The gap between the sergeant and the men in the ranks was necessarily a well-marked one. The non-commissioned officers kept together and formed messes of their own. âPride and proprietyâ kept them from joining in the carouses of the rank and file. âHe who has once joined the company of sergeants is disincluded for any other,â232 writes one veteran proud of well-deserved promotions. The non-commissioned officer who was too familiar with his inferiors was generally one of those who profited by their misdeeds, and would some day be convicted of sharing their plunder, or conniving at their excesses.
