At the formation of the AIF, the Brigade Commanders were graded as Colonels. On 1 July 1915, they were regraded as Brigadier-Generals in order to align their ranks with that of their British counterparts. This new seniority was then backdated to the point at which they took command of the brigade. Brigadier-General was a temporary rank, and only lasted as long as the officer was serving in that capacity. I have chosen to use ‘Colonel' up until 1 July, after which I refer to these officers (Monash, MacLagan, Johnston, etc.) as ‘Brigadier-General'.
