WHAT DOES AIDES-DE-CAMP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

aides-de-camp

Aide-de-camp

An aide-de-camp is a personal assistant or secretary, to a person of high rank, usually a senior military or government officer, a member of the Royal Family, or a head of state. This is not to be confused with an adjutant, who is the senior administrator of a military unit. The first aide-de-camp is typically the foremost personal aide. In some countries, the aide-de-camp is considered to be a title of honour, and participates at ceremonial functions. The badge of office for an aide-de-camp is usually the aiguillette, a braided cord in gold or other colours, worn on the shoulder of a uniform. Whether it is worn on the left or the right shoulder is dictated by protocol.
