i have a friend that i share some family links to and he has found on his side, a member of the iowa 7th. cavalry who is
listed as being an 8th. corporal. i have seen in that same list someone who is a 3rd. corporal and maybe it is corporal
followed by the number. memory. i wish i had one more often. were there such ranks as these? sergeants have several
levels, but corporals? thanks for any help.
 
no levels for corporal

If companies had their full allotment of 8 corporals, an 8th Corporal would have been the lowest ranked/least senior/newest one. But they are equal as there were no grades of corporal, unlike 1st and 2nd Lieutenants.
