[1] Fanjunkare, who served with distinction, was often promoted after leaving active service to underlöjtnant in the Swedish Army.

[2] With the 1914 Army Order, Naval Plan and Plan for the Fixed Coastal Defence Organization (1914 års härordning, flottplan och plan för fasta kustförsvarets ordnande), the rank of fänrik was reintroduced as a name for a newly commissioned officer, who completed two years of probationary service.

[3] Above the bill, the 1st Special Committee of the Riksdag (Riksdagens 1. särskilda utskott) stated that, in the opinion of the committee, a satisfactory order would be obtained if the existing rank of fänrik and underlöjtnant was divided into two ranks, underlöjtnant and fänrik, sergeants after receiving power of attorney were awarded the rank of fänrik with retained title and fanjunkare received the rank of underlöjtnant with the position after löjtnant.

1806/1925 regulated for the army[a] the position of non-commissioned officers in accordance with guidelines issued by the Minister of Defence (Bill 1925:50).

These meant that the rank of fänrik and underlöjtnant was divided into two ranks, that fanjunkare would hold a position similar to a underlöjtnant, that förvaltare (in the Swedish Army Quartermaster Corps) could under certain conditions obtain a position similar to a löjtnant and in some cases in connection with dismissal could be promoted to captain in the army (navy).
