In Response To: What is a "Third Sergeant?" ()

Company officers usually included a captain; 1st, 2nd and junior 2nd lieutenants; 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th sergeants; 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th corporals. The number indicates order of rank.

Maybe this would be a good question for 'Civil War Jeopardy'!
