What is the French term for it? I've read it in several books written by Civil War soldiers, but can't recall which one.

Re: Comrades in battle
Gary,
n. camarade = comrade
n. compagnon (compagne) d'armes = comrade in arms
Also, see: www.wordreference.com/enfr/comrade for more detailed usage translations.

Re: Comrades in battle
Actually, gentlemen, the French term is camerades de combat. Here’s the original French and the 1855 Hardee:
ORDONNANCE DU ROI 1845
8. Les files impaire et paire, côte à côte, formeront une agglomération de quatre homes, qu’on désignera sous le nom de camerades de combat.
HARDEE’S 1855
9. The odd and even files, numbered as one, two, in the company, from right to left, will form groups of four men who will be designated comrades in battle.
Mr Erwin, you can’t be nearly as literal when translating works from English to French that have previously been translated from French to English.John Duffer
