I doubt the majority of people under 45, with no interest in military matters, are familiar with that meaning of the word

[nicebloke1]

I would think young recruits joining the army would soon discover the term.

// so it's not exactly in common use, is it?/

The question did not intimate that it was in common use. It distinctly said soldiers! Who are not common at all, and getting rarer every day.

The point I was making was the fact it was used so infrequently, it would not be unusual for some folk to be unaware of its meaning.
