The life of a Squire (also called Esquire) would start as a teenager, usually fourteen years of age. A Squire was junior to a Knight. It was the duty of a Squire to learn about Chivalry, the rules of Heraldry, horsemanship and practise the use of weapons and the skills required of a Knight. It was also their duty to enter into the social life of the castle and learn courtly etiquette, jousting, music and dancing. The Squire served in this role for seven years and became a Knight at the age of twenty-one. Sometimes knighthood was conferred earlier as the reward for bravery on the battlefield. In time of war Squires accompanied Knights on the battlefield, leading and tending the horses and dressing them in the Medieval Knights Armour.
The life of a castle Page would start at a very young age - seven years old. A Page was junior to a Squire. It was the duty of a Page to wait at table, care for the Lord's clothes and assist them in dressing.

All depends what you class as an old battle.
Normally it would be refered to as a squire, but you also have batman for the more modern battles in the 18th Century plus or pre 13th Century you would have a Tithe man or House Carl, or an Esquire.

Knights had squires in attendance when they were at war. I'm not certain, but I don't think that pages went into battle with the knights. They seemed to have a more domestic role.

Warriors (common soldiers or infantry) did not have assistants.
Knights had pages or squires who helped them maintain readiness, but I am not sure if the page actually followed into full combat. I seem to remember that the page was for tournaments and such.

A Squire. This name comes from Latin "scutarius" meaning "shield bearer".
A squire would help a knight as an apprentice in the hopes that he would become a knight himself.
We get todays word "Esquire" from the same word.

Really depends on what the warrior is and what title they bear

You may be referring to a squire, who attends a knight.

If you are referring to Mediaeval times, my friend, then, the person, that you refer to, would be the knight's SQUIRE, - from, whence. the Engish acquired the form of address, "ESQUIRE"!
I hope that helps!
