Chief of the General Staff is a very vague title to be housing just British chiefs. Could we possibly merge this with Chief of the Imperial General Staff or create a new Chief of the British General Staff? Mackensen 20:00, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

The term is "Chief of the General Staff"; if we're going to have to disambiguate (and there really isn't any reason to pre-emptively do so, IMO - we can wait until someone wants to write about a different country's position), then move this to Chief of the General Staff (UK) and make Chief of the General Staff into a disambigation. If you want, we can move this now and just turn Chief of the General Staff into a redirect for the time being...

I think that would be best. I already created German General Staff some time ago. We could move this to British General Staff, and not have a separate page for the title. Mackensen 23:15, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

I'm moving the present article to British General Staff, and turning this into a disambiguation page. Mackensen (talk) 01:42, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sir Mike Jackson

Resignation in August 2006? Have we a source for this. If he is retiring then it should say as that as it is the normal course of things - if he has resigned that is unusual and worthy of comment and explanation.Alci12 15:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
