	sociology - Warrant Officer
		In the British armed forces, a warrant officer is effectively a senior non-commissioned officer, although he or she holds the Queen's (or King's) warrant.
		Warrant officers were generally introduced throughout the British Army under Army Order 70 of 1915, although Regimental Sergeant Majors and a few other appointments (beginning in 1879, when Conductors of Stores and Supplies were warranted), had been warranted before that time.
		Most outranked midshipmen (trainee officers): the master, the purser, the surgeon and the chaplain had the privilege of dining in the wardroom with the commissioned officers (and were known as "Warrant Officers of Wardroom Rank").

		It would also mean that after the war he relinquished his Regular Army Emergency Commission and reverted to the rank of Warrant Officer Class I. He then continued to serve with the Territorial Army until his discharge at some date not discovered during the course of this research.
