Trench foot got its name because during World War I many of the soldiers who fought in the trenches got trench foot because of the constantly damp conditions of their shoes in the trenches.It is not known exactly when or where the disease was given it's apt name but I'd imagine it was just a general term used by the soldiers that it was eventually accepted as it's name. The proper name of Trench Foot, however, is 'immersion foot'.
Name given to the British soldiers by the people of Boston was the "redcoats".
In ancient times, heavily armed foot soldiers were called heavy infantry. This term is often used to describe the soldiers in the armies of Alexander the Great.
In mechanised units, the soldiers who would disembark from a vehicle are known as dismounts. Light Infantry is the term for soldiers intended to operate by foot.
