Yes I agree.
An interesting case arose when the Connaught Rangers mutiny occurred in [from memory] 1921. The mixed force scraped together to restore order was commanded by a regimental captain, brevet Lt Col.
This gallant and distinguished soldier began the Great War as a CSM, was commissioned in the field a month later, much decorated [double DSO}, twice temporarily commanded an infantry brigade, received two brevets but, in the post-war contraction, never made regimental rank beyond captain.
