Dannatt in York, 2007 General Sir Richard Dannatt retired from his post as Chief of the General Staff of the British Army yesterday, announcing General Sir David Richards as his successor. Dannatt was regarded by many soldiers as a person to be admired, having campaigned for better pay and conditions for soldiers. It has been reported, however, that prime minister Gordon Brown does not agree with this view—politicians are thought to have disliked him drawing attention to the Ministry of Defence 's failings. He is expected to continue his campaign for the improvement of soldiers' pay and conditions in his new role as 159th Constable of the Tower of London
