:
Thaddeus Koskiusco(there are several versions of his name)
Originally born in Poland, he came to America during the revolution to aid the Americans. He was very succesful at constructing fortifications. He was the designer of West Point.(the designs were sold to the Brits by Benedict Arnold who was actually a fairly competent general at the time.) After the war, Thaddeus returned to Poland to unsuccesfully try to free his country from the control of the Prussians, Russians, Austrians, the local YMCA, etc....
Why did the chicken cross the road?
So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road,
but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely
chicken's dominion maintained. ~Machiavelli

Wellington.
Cornwallace,

duke of cumberland
Bonnie "Prince" Charlie, was nothing but a damned Frenchman through and through. He had not an ounce of Scot in him. He was not British, niether was he a general.
Cornwallis I suppose was famous, but only for his failures.
Sir John Moore and Churchill are two good ones.

-Oscar WildeNow that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.
For Prussia:
Old Fritz, Seydlitz, Ziethen, Winterfeld, Old Dessauer, Ferdinand of Brunschwick to name just a few
For Austria:
Daun, Hadik, me, Charles of Lorraine, Lacy...
The austrian Daun was a great general - in my opinion the only one who could be comparable with Frederik(Friedrich) the Great of Prussia during the 7 years war.
Well perhaps the russian Saltikov could be mentioned also.
For Imperial Russia:
Peter the Great Era:
General Sheremetyev
General Gordon- some crazy Scot who served under Peter the Great and his father Alexius, real interesting person
Prince Alexander Menshikov
Late Catherine-Napoleonic times
Alexander Suvorov
Mikhail Kutuzov
Barclay DeTolly
Georgii Bagration
As for Austria, do not forget Mach.

Wellington and Napoleon are included, I read it somewhere.
Names, secret names
But never in my favour
But when all is said and done
It's you I love
How can you possibly have missed the Duke of Marlborough?!
I'm not too familiar with military leaders of this time other than the Swedish ones (Stenbock, Lewenhaupt, Rehnskjöld etc). The only one I can think of right now is Villars (France).
It's not easy being a man, you know. I had to get dressed today... And there are other pressures.
