PRC Posted 24 March , 2021 Share Posted 24 March , 2021 He got his commission as a 2nd Lieutenant (on probation) with effect from the 7th October 1916. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29809/supplement/10599/data.pdf As to his promotion, according to the November 1918 Monthly British Army List he was a Adjutant, and a Temporary Lieutenant \ Acting Captain with effect from the 10th February 1918. https://digital.nls.uk/british-military-lists/archive/123096837 Hope that helps, Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matlock1418 Posted 24 March , 2021 Share Posted 24 March , 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, PRC said: As to his promotion, according to the November 1918 Monthly British Army List he was a Adjutant, and a Temporary Lieutenant \ Acting Captain with effect from the 10th February 1918. As PRC has already identified: London Gazette: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30596/supplement/3732 "Temp. 2nd Lt. A. T. Pepper to be Adjt., and to be actg. Capt. (with pay and allowances as Lt.) whilst so empld., vice temp. Capt. C. H. Fox. 10th Feb. 1918" Also: "The undermentioned temp. 2nd Lts. to be temp. Lts., and to retain their actg. rank where specified: — ... 7th Apr. 1918 ... (Actg. Capt.) A. T. Pepper. Adjt." https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30715/supplement/6436 [LG could/and still can take a while to catch up with ranks!] He also gets a later entry in the LG in Jan 1919: "The undermentioned to be Adjts and to be actg. Capts. (with pay and allowances as Lt.) whilst so empld.: — ... Temp. Lt. T. Topping, vice temp. Lt. A. T. Pepper (since deed.). 25th Oct. 1918." https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/31102/supplement/143 [so thus when his Adjutancy seems to have come to an end] :-) M Edited 24 March , 2021 by Matlock1418 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
