Mostly extinct British Army rank with flag-carrying duties (6)

I believe the answer is:

ensign

(Other definitions for ensign that I've seen before include "Soldier; standard" , "Standard - flag" , "Lowly naval officer" , "Military or naval flag" , "SECOND PART OF 10" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
