Officer in chief (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

major

This clue is a double definition.

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

'chief' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for major that I've seen before include "Big - PM" , "Former PM" , "Not minor" , "Main course" , "Of great importance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
