Platoon sergeant major
Platoon sergeant major (PSM)〔Note that in the British Army, the plural was "platoon sergeant majors" and not "platoon sergeants major". The earliest usage of "sergeant majors" in ''The Times'' is in 1822. The last of the (very occasional) usages of "sergeants major", except when referring to American NCOs, is in 1938.〕 was an appointment in the British Army in the short-lived rank of warrant officer class III (WOIII), created in 1938.〔p. 272 Banham, Tony ''The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru: Britain's Forgotten Wartime Tragedy'' Hong Kong University Press, 2006〕 The platoon sergeant major, and his cavalry counterpart, the troop sergeant major, were part of a project giving experienced non-commissioned officers command of units formerly reserved for commissioned officers (platoons and troops). With the outbreak of World War II, National Service filled the Army with enough young men suitable for commissioning, so the project was stood down; no promotions were made to the rank after 1940 and most existing WOIIIs were commissioned as lieutenants.
