¹ Field marshal rank was re-introduced for King George II in 1939, and borne by his successors. It was only awarded once to a career officer: Alexandros Papagos (1883–1955) in 1949. The version illustrated here is that of Paul (r. 1947–1964), with the royal cypher of his brother, George II.

² During this period, only members of the royal family held the rank of full general (and equivalent). Again, only Papagos was awarded the rank among career officers (in 1947).

³ Rank officially adopted in 1946.
