I'm not sure if this is correct in the UK, but around here Professor is a job description, reserved for those who teach at a university. Dr. "only" means you have a doctorate. I imagine it would be the same for General Sir Whatever.

In the UK Professor is only for the highest ranks at a university, mere lecturers with PhDs don't get that title.
