Divisional General - Description

Description

The rank is mostly used in countries where it is used as a modern alternative to a previous older rank of Major-General.

The rank is almost always above a rank corresponding to command of a brigade, and normally below a rank corresponding to command of a corps.

In Poland the symbols of this rank are the general's wavy line and two stars, featured both on the rogatywka, sleeves of the uniform and above the breast pocket of a field uniform.

Famous quotes containing the word description:

    The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.
    Horace Walpole (1717–1797)

    God damnit, why must all those journalists be such sticklers for detail? Why, they’d hold you to an accurate description of the first time you ever made love, expecting you to remember the color of the room and the shape of the windows.
    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.
    Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
