top sergeant

Then early in the afternoon my top-sergeant got a bayonet, and a hand-grenade got a group of my non-commissioned officers.

It came from a prisoner on the transport who was sentenced to fifteen years for striking a top-sergeant.

His top-sergeant had seen to that, even though the soldier had surreptitiously sought to slip a revolver inside his army shirt.

Top-Sergeant Peter Spooner glanced at that scowl, and a faint frown crossed his own features.
