batmen
Military personal assistants
Batmen is the plural of batman, a British military term for an officer's personal servant or attendant.
The batman handled an officer's equipment, uniforms, and domestic needs—a role that has largely disappeared from modern armed forces.
The colonel's batman laid out his dress uniform.
The word derives from bat meaning packsaddle, not the flying mammal.
