Rank of Rommel and Montgomery in the 1940s (5,7)

I believe the answer is:

field marshal

(Other definitions for field marshal that I've seen before include "Highest-ranking army officer" , "Highest rank in British army" , "military leader" , "general? He's more important than that" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
