Why demotion?

edit

… released in 1761, and was made general a year after. … Seventeen years later, as lieutenant-general, he won at Brix …

Surely, some mention is needed here of why he had been demoted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wyresider (talkcontribs)

  • He wasn´t. The paragraph was somewhat misleading before I fixed it; he was made a Major General in 1761 (so a general, but not a [full] General) and a Lieutenant General in 1775. ...GELongstreet (talk)
