Foul-smelling sergeant-major? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rank

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'foul-smelling' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'sergeant-major?' is the second definition.
(sergeant-major is an example)

(Other definitions for rank that I've seen before include "Foul - station" , "Not qualified to give order" , "Position; foul-smelling" , "film executive" , "Utter" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
