trin1054 Posted 1 November , 2006 Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Good evening, can someone explain what an Acting Serjeant was? I presume it was a temporary appointment but would it have been 'filling in a gap' type roll until a new Serjeant was found or a kind of probation period before being made a full Serjeant (or not!). I ask this as my G-Grandfather attained this rank: Medal card of Richardson, Christopher S Corps Regiment No Rank Royal Field Artillery 98233 Shoeing Smith Corporal Royal Field Artillery 98233 Acting Serjeant but was still a Shoeing Smith Corporal on his SWB roll entry. (Demotion at some point?) Thanks in advance for any help, Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph Posted 1 November , 2006 Share Posted 1 November , 2006 Marc, Acting Sgt is a rank that has an equivalent status as a Sgt (albeit not legally a rank), but has been granted by a Commanding Officer and can be taken away by him. A try before you buy or to be made up to fill billets before his Corp order a replacement. Not demoted, as may not have been qualified to be a Sgt but fulfilled his roll.
