==GOC-in-C== A general officer heading a particularly large or important command, such as [[Middle East Command]] or the [[Allied Armies in Italy]], may be called a '''general officer commanding-in-chief''' ('''GOC-in-C'''). The governor of the [[Imperial Fortress]] colony of [[Bermuda]] was also appointed [[commander-in-chief]] of the disproportionately-large [[Bermuda Garrison]]. From 1912, when Lieutenant-General Sir [[George Bullock (British Army officer)|George Mackworth Bullock]] replaced the late Lieutenant-General Sir [[Walter Kitchener|Frederick Walter Kitchener]], through the [[Second World War]], the military office was titled ''General Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Bermuda''.<ref>{{cite book |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |date=1913 |title=HART'S ANNUAL ARMY LIST, SPECIAL RESERVE LIST, AND TERRITORIAL FORCE LIST, FOR 1913,(BEING THE SEVENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL VOLUME) |url= |location=London |publisher=JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, LONDON |page=116 |isbn=}}</ref> GOC-in-Cs are usually one rank higher than a GOC with GOCs of [[corps]]-level formations reporting to them.
