The leading British general during World War II was Bernard Montgomery. He is best known for his role in the North African campaign, particularly for his victory at the Second Battle of El Alamein in 1942, which marked a turning point in the war against Axis forces in North Africa. Montgomery later commanded British and Commonwealth forces during the Normandy landings and the subsequent campaign in Northwest Europe. His leadership and strategic abilities significantly contributed to the Allied victory in the war.

General Nathanael Greene employed a strategy of attrition against the British during the Southern Campaign of the American Revolutionary War. He used his knowledge of the terrain to conduct tactical retreats and engage in guerrilla warfare, continually harassing British forces while avoiding large-scale confrontations. This approach effectively weakened British resources and morale, ultimately leading to their defeat at key battles such as Cowpens and the Siege of Yorktown. Greene's ability to maintain a mobile and strategic defense played a crucial role in the American victory.
The Sepoys, Indian soldiers in the British East India Company's army, revolted against British rule in 1857, leading to the Sepoy Mutiny. In response to perceived injustices, such as cultural insensitivity and the use of animal fat in cartridges, they attacked British officers, civilians, and loyal Indian troops. Key cities like Delhi and Kanpur saw violent uprisings, where the Sepoys sought to reclaim power and restore Mughal rule. However, the rebellion was ultimately suppressed by British forces, leading to significant repercussions for India.
The British Expeditionary Force (BEF) was initially successful in its deployment to France during World War I, effectively holding off German advances in the early stages of the war. However, its effectiveness diminished during the Battle of Mons and subsequent engagements, leading to a strategic retreat to the Marne. The BEF played a crucial role in stabilizing the Western Front, but its early losses highlighted the challenges of modern warfare, ultimately leading to a prolonged stalemate. Overall, while the BEF had operational successes, it faced significant challenges that shaped the course of the war.

Field Marshall Montgomery was the leading British general in the European Theater in World War 2. There were other British or Royal Army Generals who fought in Asia and around Australia with Australian Generals. However I figure you mean the war in the European Theater.
