Historically, a general's branch of service could be indicated in the rank. So far Finland has had seventeen of jalkaväenkenraali (general of infantry), a few of jääkärikenraali (Jägergeneral), two of ratsuväenkenraali (general of cavalry) and one tykistönkenraali (general of artillery). Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim himself was the other one of the two generals of cavalry before his promotion to field marshal.
