Officer in chief (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

major

I believe this is a double definition.

'officer' is the first definition.
(type of military officer)

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

'in' acts as a 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.
