Territorial Army rank?

[kangyk]

Could someone please tell me if there is such a rank in the Territorial Army as Brigadier General?

Not in the UK army, no. The British Army these days has Brigadier, not B-General.

I thought most of the General ranks were B(loody) Generals to the TA troops, boxtops.

Yes DT - which clarifies my response, your link says:

In the first quarter of the 20th century, British and Commonwealth armies used the rank of Brigadier General as a temporary appointment, or as an honorary appointment on retirement; in the 1920s this practice changed to the use of Brigadier, which is not classed as a general officer.

I know I was backing you, a title used in some other countries though but not ours (now)

Thank you ;-)

Hope this helps

The RAF equivalent (Air Commodore) is classed as one-star air rank.

The question refered to T.A/Regular Army rank, not teeny-weeny crab airways mike

Briadier is a general officer - the giveaway is the red tabs on the uniform and the star on the staff car.
