- Source: Mirliva
Mirliva or Mîr-i livâ was a military rank of the Ottoman Army and Navy. It corresponds to a brigadier general (modern Turkish: Tuğgeneral) in the modern Turkish Army. Mirliva is a compound word composed of Mir (commander) and Liva (or Liwa, "brigade" in Arabic). The rank was junior to the Ferik (Major General) and superior to the rank Miralay (Colonel) in the Ottoman Army and the pre-1935 Turkish Army.
Mirliva was the most junior general rank with the title Pasha.
The collar mark (later shoulder mark) and cap (until 1933) of a Mirliva had three stripes and one star during the early years of the Turkish Republic.
The rank of Mirliva was renamed to Tuğgeneral in 1935 with the "Turkification" of the rank names.
