Hi Mark...TSM is a rank the Commandos used as did one or two others during the 2nd World War. It stands for Troop Sergeant Major. Each Commando was split into Troops and each Troop had a TSM .
In the Westminster Roll of Honour there is an entry which is the rank you mention ie. CSM although it is "ac" which is I think "Acting"
Plank H.H. Marine ac.C.Sgt.Maj. Royal Marines Plymouth Division 47 killed in action 02-Nov-44 British Liberation Army 152
As I said in my earlier private message to you hopefully his service record will show the details.
