Batmen were soldier servants for British officers during World War 1.

The British Field Service Manual for 1914 says:

"Batmen in the field are allowed at the rate of one for each dismounted officer, or mounted officer with one horse, and two for each mounted officer with two horses.

All batmen are fully armed and trained soldiers, and are available for duty in the ranks."
