Talk:Brigadier

message: Should there be a section on the UDA? There is no higher level section on any national army. The UDA is not a proper military force. Furthermore, the UDA does not use brigadier in any special way. I think the UDA does not deserve a mention, let alone an entire section.Mesoso 17:58, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Rm the link; it was an extremely POV essay on how great the UK ranking system was, and how other countries' ranking systems as deviations from it were "wrong, stupid, pointless, and confusing". It adds nothing to the article. --SigPig |SEND - OVER 20:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  A note: 

message: "Brigadier" seems to have been used in its Continental sense in the old Troops of Horse Guards. An example Gazette from 1782 gives appointments to the following ranks:
* Cornet and Major
* Guidon and Major
* Exempt and Captain
* Brigadier and Lieutenant
* Sub-Brigadier and Cornet
The dual ranks were to reflect that regimental rank in the Guards carried with it higher rank in the Army, a situation that continued until the mid-nineteenth century. Opera hat (talk) 15:42, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: There's already a disambiguation page::https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigadier_(disambiguation). If that page isn't working, then the two military ranks should be merged.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.221.201 (talk) 20:45, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
