British Army ranks and military terminology are heavily influenced by French due to historical factors, particularly the Norman Conquest of 1066, which introduced Norman French as the language of the English court and administration. Additionally, during the Hundred Years' War and subsequent conflicts, British and French armies interacted closely, leading to the adoption of French terms. This influence persisted as French was the dominant language of diplomacy and military affairs in Europe for centuries, solidifying its presence in British military vocabulary.
