I just received this wonderful book from the Australian war memorial bookshop and am having a bit of a nerdgasm
I am curious about the description of Brigadier
The book says that Australian brigades were commanded by colonels until 1915 when an order was promulgated promoting them all to Brigadier-General.
The rank title Brigadier-General was short lived (ceased in 1922) as by definition, they are not in "general command" of troops
I am curious about the phrase "not in general command of troops". What does that mean to a layman who has never served in the military
