See also Category:British generals – note that a "Brigadier" is not classed as a "general" in the British Army, despite being a NATO 1-star equivalent rank.[1] Prior to the mid to late-1990s, British ranks used a hyphen.

Hence, in the lists below:

• 1* = Brigadier-General/Brigadier
• 2* = Major-General (prior to 1990s) / Major General (mid 1990s onwards)
• 3* = Lieutenant-General (prior to 1990s) / Lieutenant General (mid 1990s onwards)
• 4* = General
• 5* = Field Marshal

(dates after the name are birth and death)
