– Natural disambiguation. No need for "general officers". Compare List of French generals of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The reason I did not boldly do them myself, is that I am unsure if the community prefers "of the" to "in the" in a case like this. Srnec (talk) 00:01, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hi Srnec: As you may have seen from the page history, when I created this page I did, in fact, use the "simplified" version. However, it soon became clear to me that, given the extraordinary number of maréchals involved (as I point out in the overview, Napoleon sent in "thirteen of his maréchals (ten of whom were of the first promotion – of fourteen – and included Soult, one of only six men to have been appointed Marshal General of France in the history of France), as well as two "honorary" marshals, Kellermann and Lefebvre,...", that it would be interesting to distinguish between generals proper and other general officers. The reason the three related pages use the same term was to ensure consistency. I'm not especially concerned, either way and if there's consensus to move it, that's fine by me. By the way, the simple search for General does actually redirect to General officer. --Technopat (talk) 12:34, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

No problem with "general officers", although seems unnecessary to me. Srnec (talk) 23:12, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Support per nom. Generals, not general officers. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:17, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply
