Talk:Camp follower

Camp following in peace time
Hi I am a former "military brat" and can attest to the "camp follower life". It is not limited to wartime however. Following soldiers from base to base happens during peacetime as well.

A change gonna come
I am a former Army brat, but even when I was an Army brat, I was not a "camp-follower". A cursory review of dictionary definitions of "camp-follower" indicates that there is no equivalence between military dependents, Army brats, any other sort of "military brat" and "camp-followers". I will therefore be revising the article accordingly. PS: I'm an Army brat—don't ever call me a "military brat". --108.45.72.196 (talk) 05:01, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Sutler
Camp follower is identical to sutler, isn't it? Lucius Castus (talk) 22:32, 22 February 2017 (UTC)


 * They overlap, but sutlers tends towards the masculine and mercantile; camp followers towards the feminine and familial. Jim.henderson (talk) 06:11, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
