Historical, Empire period missing
Were there no changes after WWII? Same applies to all the ranks, it's missing everywhere, it seems. I came across this problem when editing the Arab Legion, and it must pop up all across the Empire. Arminden (talk) 07:45, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * What sort of changes? -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:26, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I didn't put it correctly. I mean: can one link "Major-general" in articles about 20th-century Empire-related topics (so pre-late 40s in broad terms) to this & other articles on British army ranks, or were there changes made between the late phase of Empire and current times? Again, I came across this problem when I linked ranks mentioned in the Arab Legion article to articles of the "Rank (United Kingdom)" type. If there had been any sections on the meaning of the rank in 20th-century armed forces of British dominions, I would have been more at ease with it, but there are none.

 * No, no real changes. No problem in linking it. The ranks in all Imperial forces were very similar until well after WWII. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:37, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you, now I know it, but others should too. If you or anyone finds the time & reliable sources, this would be of great interest. Probably on a more central page? Think of how many national armed forces have developed from the Imperial ones. Cheers, Arminden (talk) 17:16, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
