'Lieutenant-General' ('Lt Gen') is a senior rank in the British Army and the Royal Marines.
A Lieutenant-General is superior to a 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 or an Air Marshal in the Royal Air Force or the air forces of many Commonwealth countries.
The rank insignia is a crown over a crossed sword and baton.
