  • Lieutenant-General (Lt-Gen) is a senior rank in the British Army and the Royal Marines, although the highest-ranking officer in the Royal Marines at present is Major General. It has a NATO code of OF-8, and is the equivalent of a multinational 3 star rank; some British lieutenant-generals sometimes wear 3 star insignia, in addition to their standard insignia, when on multinational operations. Lieutenant-General is a superior rank to Major-General, but subordinate to a full General. The rank has a NATO rank code of OF-8, equivalent to a Vice-Admiral in the Royal Navy and an Air Marshal in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the air forces of many Commonwealth countries. The rank insignia for both the Army and the Royal Marines is a crown over a crossed sabre and baton. Since the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, the St Edward's Crown, commonly known as the Queen's Crown, has been depicted. Prior to 1953, the Tudor Crown, commonly known as the King's Crown was used.
