Field marshal (Australia)
Field marshal is the highest rank of the Australian Army and was created as a direct equivalent of the British military rank of field marshal. It is a five-star rank, equivalent to the ranks in the other armed services of admiral of the fleet in the Navy, and marshal of the Royal Australian Air Force. The subordinate army rank is general.
==Lord Birdwood, 1925==
Field Marshal Sir William Birdwood (later created The 1st Baron Birdwood) was a British Army officer who commanded the First Australian Imperial Force (1st AIF) in World War I. As such, he was made a general in the AIF in 1917, and in the Australian Army in 1920. Despite his British origins, "Birdy", as he was known to the Australian soldiers, was a popular and respected commander and his promotion was seen as reward for his effective command of the AIF. When he was promoted to the rank of field marshal in the British Army in 1925, Birdwood was also made a field marshal in the Australian Army.〔A. J. Hill, ('Birdwood, William Riddell (Baron Birdwood) (1865 - 1951)' ), Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 7, Melbourne University Press, 1979, pp 293–296.〕 His baton is kept in the Australian War Memorial, but is not on display.
