It is to be noticed also, however, that there were to be now properly but two _Generals_, and that the highest officers under these, whatever had been their previous designations, were all, with a certain courtesy exception in favour of Lambert and Monk, to rank on one level as merely _Colonels_.

As far as to these Colonels, the result was as follows: I.ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND.
_Commander-in-Chief_: LIEUTENANT-GENERAL, CHARLES FLEETWOOD.
I.FOR, SERVICE IN ENGLAND AND WALES: 1.

_Colonels of Horse Regiments_: John Lambert (with Richard Creed for his Major), John Desborough, James Berry (with Unton Crooke for his Major), Robert Lilburne, Francis Hacker, John Okey, William Packer (with John Gladman for his Major), Nathaniel Rich, Thomas Saunders, and Herbert Morley.2._Colonels of Foot-Regiments_: Lieutenant-General Fleetwood, Lambert, Robert Overton, Matthew Alured, John Hewson (with John Duckinfield for his Lieutenant-Colonel), John Biscoe, William Sydenham, Edward Salmon, Richard Mosse, Richard Ashfield, Sir Arthur Hasilrig, Thomas Kelsay, John Clerk, Robert Gibbon, Robert Barrow .-- One finds, besides, certain Colonels appointed to garrison commands: e.g.Colonel Thomas Fitch to be Governor of the Tower, Colonel Nathaniel Whetham to be Governor of Portsmouth, Colonel Mark Grimes to be Governor of Cardiff Overton was Governor of Hall as well as Colonel of a Foot-Regiment; and Alured had charge of the Life-Guard of the House and the Council at Westminster,--All these appointments were actually made; other colonelcies probably stood over for consideration .-- In the _Journals_ Lambert is styled "Major-General Lambert," but that was only by courtesy.

He had no commission with that title; and Ludlow makes a point of marking this by always calling him "Colonel Lambert" only.

His distinction was in holding two colonelcies together, one of Foot and one of Horse.
