Everything about Field Cornet totally explained
A
Field Cornet (
Afrikaans:
Veldkornet) was a
South African term for either a
local government official or a
military officer.
Initially, the term was used for a
civilian official in a local government district (
Drostdy) of the
Cape Colony, acting as and invested with the authority of a
military officer and empowered to act as a
magistrate. The Field Cornet was subject to the
Landdrost of such a district and acted as his representative. As such, the Field Cornet performed important functions in administrative,
judicial and
police matters. In addition, in peacetime the Field Cornet was the head of the
militia and was responsible for maintaining law and order in his area.
However, the term later came to denote a
military rank equivalent to that of a
lieutenant in the
Boer armies as well as in the
South African Army between
1960 and
1968. A
Second Lieutenant was referred to as an
assistant field cornet.
