THE COTTAGE OF TIM BOBBIN,
AND THE VILLAGE OF MILNROW
 (con't.)

    After spending a few days in the town, I set out to Milnrow again one fine afternoon.  The road leads by the "Railway Inn," near the station. The hay was mostly gathered in, but the smell of it still lingered on the meadows, and perfumed the wind, which sung a low melody among the leaves of the hedges.  Along the vale of the Roch, to the left, lay a succession of manufacturing villages, with innumerable mills, collieries, farmsteads, mansions, and cottages, clustering in the valley, and running up into the hills in all directions, from Rochdale to Littleborough, a distance of three miles.  As I went on I was reminded of "wimberry time," by meeting knots of flaxen-headed lads and lasses from the moors, with their baskets filled, and months all stained with the juice of that delicious moorland fruit.  There are many pleasant customs in vogue here at this season.  The country-folk generally know something of local botany, and gather in a stock of medicinal herbs to dry, for use throughout the year.  There is still some "spo'in'" at the mineral springs in the hills.  Whether these springs are really remarkable for peculiar mineral virtues, or what these peculiar virtues are, I am not prepared to say; but it is certain that many of the inhabitants of this district firmly believe in their medicinal qualities, and, at set seasons of the year, go forth to visit these springs, in jovial companies, to drink "spo wayter."  Some go with great faith in the virtues of the water, and, having drunk well of it, they will sometimes fill a bottle with it, and ramble back to their houses, gathering on their way edible herbs, such as "payshun docks," and "green-sauce," or "a burn o' nettles," to put in their broth, and, of which, they also make a wholesome "

This is a list of people who have held general officer rank or the rank of brigadier (together now recognized as starred officers) in the British Army, Royal Marines, British Indian Army or other British military force since the Acts of Union 1707.

See also Category:British generals – note that a "Brigadier" is not classed as a "general" in the British Army, despite being a NATO 1-star equivalent rank. Prior to the mid to late-1990s, British ranks used a hyphen.

Hence, in the lists below:

• 1* = Brigadier-general/Brigadier
• 2* = Major-general (prior to 1990s)/Major general (mid-1990s onwards)
• 3* = Lieutenant-general (prior to 1990s)/Lieutenant general (mid-1990s onwards)
• 4* = General
• 5* = Field marshal
