Actually, they are not incorrect, just not the same ones you have. I don't know where you're getting your info. George Thomas was in fact known by all of those nicknames. I found the official goverment telegraphs in which they were used.

Those are not correct Assasin.You seem to be confused on what the definition of "correct" is. Those are correct answers to the question, "What was General George Thomas nicknames during his career?", they just aren't the answers you are looking for. It doesn't make much sense to argue against fact.
