    A.C.O. = Acting Commanding Officer ...so maybe its 'Acting Commanding Officer/ Master Sergeant'?
    R.S.M.= Regimental Sergeant Major ... it is an appointment held by warrant officers class 1 (WO1) in the British Army, the British Royal Marines and in the armies of many Commonwealth and former Commonwealth nations, including Ireland, Australia and New-Zealand; and by chief warrant officers (CWO) in the Canadian Forces.
