The White Rose is a traditional Cornish folk song, the chorus of which appeared in the film "Ladies in Lavender" (2005).
 The song remains popular and has been recorded by many of the Cornish male voice choirs and is often performed at funerals.
 In 2001 it was read at the funeral of Rick Rescorla, Cornish hero of 9/11.
Cyril Richard Rescorla (May 27, 1939 – September 11, 2001) was a United States Army officer and private security officer of British origin who served in Northern Rhodesia as a member of the Northern Rhodesia Police (NRP) and as a commissioned officer in the Vietnam War, where he was a second lieutenant in the United States Army.
Lieutenant (junior grade) (LTJG) is a junior commissioned officer rank in the United States Navy, the United States Coast Guard, the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA Corps), with the pay grade of O-2.
 The rank is also used in the United States Maritime Service.
 The NOAA Corps's predecessors, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Corps (1917–1965) and the Environmental Science Services Administration Corps or ESSA Corps (1965–1970), also used the rank.
Inge Aicher-Scholl (11 August 1917 – 4 September 1998), born in present-day Crailsheim, Germany was the daughter of Robert Scholl, mayor of Forchtenberg, and elder sister of Hans and Sophie Scholl, who studied at the University of Munich in 1942, and were core members of the White Rose student resistance movement in Nazi Germany.
 Inge Scholl wrote several books about the White Rose after the war.
 However, according to the Center for White Rose Studies, she did not even "so much as listen to her siblings' talk", when they tried to convince her to take part in 1942.
The White Rose Mission (also known as the White Rose Home for Colored Working Girls and the White Rose Industrial Association) was created on February 11, 1897 as a “Christian, nonsectarian Home for Colored Girls and Women” by African American civic leaders, Victoria Earle Matthews (1861–1907) and Maritcha Remond Lyons (1848–1929).
 The settlement house, located on Manhattan's Upper West side in the neighborhood known then as San Juan Hill, was founded to offer refuge, shelter and food for newly arrived African American /Colored women from the southern United States and the West Indies.
 Aware of the perilous conditions for young African American women seeking work in New York City, Matthews and Lyons and other volunteers working with The White Rose Mission met incoming vessels.
 At Manhattan’s piers, docks and railway stations, volunteers offered assistance to female travelers who often fell prey to unscrupulous employment agents and con artists.
 As traveler’s assistance services were generally not available to African American women, the White Rose Mission, under the direction of Victoria Earle Matthews, was founded to address the specific problems facing African American female migrants.
The Bangladesh Army (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ সেনাবাহিনী ) is the land forces branch of the Military of Bangladesh.
 The rank structure of the Bangladesh Army is divided in two main parts: commissioned officers/officers and soldiers, officers have two categories of ranks one is known simply as officers and the other category is generals or general officers, on the other hand soldiers have three categories of ranks.
 Junior Commissioned Officers (JCOs) and NCOs are enlisted personnel, not officers.
 From the rank of Second Lieutenant to the highest rank of General all are commissioned officers.
 Commissioned Officers are regarded as 1st class Bangladesh-government officer.
 Men and women can receive commission from BMA, Bhatiary.
 'Sainik' (Bengali: সৈনিক ) is a Bengali word, it means Soldier in English, the rank "Sainik" is equivalent to 'Sepoy' or 'Jawan' of Pakistan Army and Indian Army.
 From a "Sainik" a person is promoted to Lance Corporal, and from this rank he/she gets NCO (Non Commissioned Officer) status.
 From the rank of 'Warrant Officer' persons are called JCO.
 From Major-General to General, officers of these rank holders are commonly called 'generals' and Brigadier-generals are known as Brigadiers in contraction, the suffix 'general' was added in 2001.
 2nd Lieutenant, Lieutenants and Captains are considered junior officers (not junior commissioned officer).
 Major and Lieutenant-colonels (commonly called as colonels) are mid-ranking officers.
 Colonel and above are considered as senior officers.
 The insignias of Major-general and Lieutenant-general and full-general were changed in 2013, previously Major-General insignia was a pip over a crossed sword and baton and Lieutenant-General was 'shapla' (water lily) over a crossed sword and baton and full-general had a 'shapla' over a pip over crossed sword and baton.

An enlisted rank (also known as an enlisted grade or enlisted rate) is, in some armed services, any rank below that of a commissioned officer.
 The term can be inclusive of non-commissioned officers or warrant officers, except in United States military usage where warrant officers/chief warrant officers are a separate officer category ranking above enlisted grades and below commissioned officer grades.
 In most cases, enlisted service personnel perform jobs specific to their own occupational specialty, as opposed to the more generalized command responsibilities of commissioned officers.
 The term "enlistment" refers solely to a military commitment (whether officer or enlisted) whereas the terms "taken of strength" and "struck off strength" refer to a servicemember being carried on a given unit's roll.
In the United States Navy, United States Coast Guard, United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps (USPHS), and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps (NOAA Corps), captain is the senior-most commissioned officer rank below that of flag officer (i.e., admirals).
 The equivalent rank is Colonel in the United States Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps.
 The predecessors of the NOAA Corps—the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey Corps (1917-1965) and the Environmental Science Services Administration Corps (ESSA Corps) (1965-1970)—also used the rank.
