Not so according to the RA Institute, who wrote an article on the subject. For a period during and after WW1 the appointment of WOs 1st Class of the RA/RHA/RFA/RGA was "Master Gunner". This later changed to "Sergeant Major Instructor of Gunnery", but I do not recall the date when this change took place.
