His Majesty the King has approved the introduction of the rank of brigadier in the New Zealand Forces, it is stated in “ General Orders.” The rank will be in substitution for the ranks of colonel commandant and colonel on the staff, and appointments which now carry those ranks will carry the temporary rank of brigadier instead, with effect from Juno 1, 1928. Officers holding the temporary rank of brigadier will have precedence of, and command over all other colonels. Among themselves they will take precedence according to their permanent rank.
