"Marshal is a word used in several official titles of various branches of society. The word is an ancient loan word from Old (Norman) French, cf. modern French maréchal, which in turn is a borrowing from Old Frankish *marhskalk "stable boy, keeper, servant" :wink:
A bottle of claret down so not sure now if that helps or not!! :wink:
Does that mean a Field Marshal is actually a grass keeper...so, in effect, a lawn mower?!
EDIT: Just to prove a point on how far an interpretation can be taken LOL! :wink:
