Company

A company is the third most basic military organisaton within the British Expeditionary Force and is also the third smallest military formation that exists in the British Expeditionary Force. It is commanded by a Captain with a Lieutenant as his Second In Command (SiC). Infantry companies in the BEF in their battalions are reffered by letters (eg. A, B) rather then their number.

Components
The company is made up of 2 platoons commanded by a Second Lieutenant and roughly constitute 38 men (Including the Commanding Officer). It is commanded by a Captain acting as Company Commander and a Lieutenant acting as the Company Second In Command. Below are the components of a BEF Company.

-1 Captain (Acting as Company Commander)

-1 Lieutenant (Acting as Company Second In Command)

-2 Second Lieutenants

-2 Sergeants

-4 Corporals

-4 Lance Corporals

-24 Privates

Differences with real British Companies of the era
British companies of the era, were made up of around 3-4 platoons (3 for rifle companies), not 2 and roughly constitute around 160-200 men, instead of the 38 men here. In real British companies, the company would most likely be commanded by a Major with a senior Lieutenant or Captain as his Second In Command.
