Re: 2 gazettes for the same rank??

Confusion ….

I have 2 examples where Flt.Lt B. Hoare, 23 squadron was awarded the 'Temp' rank of Sqn Ldr. I am reading this wrong?

Thanks

Danny

The first promotion (Dec 41) was as a temporary S/L which means he could return to being a F/L if he stopped doing whatever job carried the S/L rank

The second (July 1942) was to war substantive rank which meant he was then a S/L for as long as the war lasted (or he got further promoted)
