Colonel or major, eg (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

officer

This clue is a double definition.

'colonel' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'major eg' is the second definition.
(major is a kind of officer)

(Other definitions for officer that I've seen before include "Member of police force" , "Commissioned rank" , "Leading soldier" , "eg Colonel" , "Commissioned member of armed forces" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
