Seesul´s lingual corner

In a different WW2 movies and war games I can hear 'sarge' when some soldier talks to someone else as 'hey sarge' perhaps.
Does it mean 'sergeant'?
Thx.

Yes, Roman, it is short for Sergeant. Military members almost always shorten names. My last name is Van Gilder, but I was almost always called "Van", unless in my shop. There were three of of Van ... last names.
