Gunner (Gnr) is a rank equivalent to private in the British Army Royal Artillery and the artillery corps of other Commonwealth armies.[1][2] The next highest rank is usually lance-bombardier, although in the Royal Canadian Artillery it is bombardier.[3] Historically, there was an inferior rank, matross.
