Name/Rank Going through the CWGC I've come across a number of names that made me wonder whether they raised a laugh during the persons service: 1) There are a number of Sergeant Sergeants listed 2) Captain Majors (3), Major Major (1), along with a lot of the other ranked Majors 3) Rifleman Gun (2) 4) Number of Flights (none in the Air Forces though) 5) Sergeant Air and Flying Officer Airs Any others?
