SangEr

The spellings "sangar" and "sanger" seem to be used interchangeably. "Sangar" seems to be much the more popular, but it seems "sanger" has gained such currency in official British military publications, and reliable independent media reporting on British military doings, so I think we're remiss to not mention that here (and in the dab at Sanger). Some cites:

MOD Defence News, which uses sangar and sanger interchangeably in the same article
BBC News
British Army training document
RAF newspaper
The Independent
BBC News
Royal Corp. of Signals magazine (several occasions)
British Army report on Operation Herrick
Royal Yorkshire regiment magazine
