Lieutenant-General (Lt Gen) (pronounced Leftenant-General) is a senior rank in the British Army and the Royal Marines.
A lieutenant-general is superior to a major-general but subordinate to a full general. The rank has a NATO rank code of OF-8, equivalent to a vice-admiral in the Royal Navy or an air marshal in the Royal Air Force (RAF) or the air forces of many Commonwealth countries.
From 1 April 1918 to 31 July 1919, the Royal Air Force maintained the rank of lieutenant-general. It was superseded by the rank of air marshal on the following day. Interesting, although Sir David Henderson was an RAF lieutenant-general, the then Chief of the Air Staff, Sir Hugh Trenchard never held this rank.
The rank insignia is a crown over a crossed sword and baton. (en)
