In World War One the duty of a private could be anything. Whatever the captain of the trench told him to do he'd have to do it. So it could be shoot this person or clean these dishes or pick up my laundry whatever he was told to do he would do it
The relationship can be thought of as "rusty"... The officers were only doing their jobs; keeping the soldiers obediant/diciplined and to ensure that they fought properly. However, the soldiers did not like it when they were forced to march and complete drills. They were annoyed that they fought in the front lines and the officers stayed well back. But how do you think the officers became officers? They would have gone through the same things!
They often elected their officers, otherwise they would be appointed by the colonial governor.
Usually the officers rank is abbreviated such as LT for lieutenant. As for naval officers in general I have seen it written USNO but it would have to be used in specific content to make sense to someone.
Yes, but they had no idea how much damage it would cause.
