Lance naik

(Redirected from Lance-Naik)

Lance naik (L/Nk) is the equivalent rank to lance corporal in the Indian and Pakistani armies and, before 1947, in the British Indian Army, ranking below naik.[1] In cavalry units the equivalent is acting lance daffadar. Like British lance corporals, each wears a single rank chevron.
