0 an officer in the British army whose rank is above a colonel and below a major general:
[ as form of address ] Thank you, Brigadier.
Brigadier Jones/David Jones
We happen to have a retired brigadier, a very able man who is very good at persuading people, firmly but tactfully.
This applies to all ranks, from brigadier down to the ordinary corporal or fusilier.
I do not grudge the colonels, the brigadiers, the sergeants, or anyone else a farthing.
That is the first thing that the brigadier-general had to inquire into.
I also know brigadiers who have never commanded a brigade in action.
His honour was impugned because he was carrying out his duties as a brigadier in the forces in a certain part of the war zone.
Then you would have your ordinary field general court-martial presided over by an experienced brigadier who was quite accustomed to trying military offences.
Does he also agree that to make a 15-year-old boy appear before a general, a brigadier and a couple of colonels is an obscenity?
