All corporals in the Foot Guards are automatically appointed Lance Sergeant (wearing three chevrons) and lance corporals wear two chevrons.
Lance corporal, at the time not a rank but an appointment historically known as chosen man and carrying extra pay for privates holding it, were given a single chevron a few years later, and later in the century the lance-sergeant appeared, wearing three chevrons.
Regimental quartermaster-sergeants wore four chevrons on the lower sleeve, point upwards, with a star above, but adopted the crown when they too became warrant officers class II in 1915.

The non-commissioned officers of a cavalry regiment are as follows, - viz.: one sergeant-major, two hospital stewards, one veterinary surgeon, one regimental quartermaster sergeant, one regimental commissary sergeant, one chief trumpeter, orderly or first sergeant, sergeants, and corporals.
The position of a regimental hospital steward is one of great trust, and one in which a man who does not know his duty, or who, knowing it, does not perform it, is likely to do immense harm.
He is regimental wagonmaster, and should make a morning report to the quartermaster of the drivers, horses, andc.

 Robert and George Whitcomb Papers
Robert, a 28-year old farmer with a wife and young daughter, and George, 22 and a bachelor, were soon given responsibility as non-commissioned officers, Robert becoming wagoner, working with the regimental quartermaster, and George, who mustered in as a Corporal, becoming 5th sergeant of Co. D.
In February, 1864, George was sent as part of an expedition to Jacksonville, Fla., while Robert remained behind with the regimental stores, suffering both from grief over the separation and guilt over seeing his younger brother and friends in jeopardy while he remained safe.
He was adamant that the draftees who were assigned to the 169th would do nothing to besmirch the regiment's good reputation, and his long diatribe on draftees gives a distinctive, volunteer's view of the lowly conscript.

 Corporal John Acomb   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-24)
Interestingly, the rank of Lance Corporal appears in The Waterloo Medal Roll but does not appear in the muster roll.
Uniquely in the Household Cavalry, there existed only three ranks between private and commissioned officer: quartermaster, corporal and (from 1804) corporal-major; the latter equated to regimental sergeant-major, corporal to the rank of sergeant, hence the use of three chevrons.
Whether this was due to wounds received, the post war reduction of the Regiment or unsatisfactory performance in the rank of Corporal, I don't know.
