Corps commander

This has happened a couple of times in my current game: A division commander (one star) is labelled as the the corps commander, even though a two-star general was chosen to form the corps.

In this instance, Hamilton should be the corps commander, but the tag shows that it's Keyes' Corps.

So my question: is Hamilton really the corps commander?

Keyes is also a 2** leader, and his seniority is higher than Hamilton. So, even if he's a division commander, if you put him in a corps stack, he will gain the command.

An event that fires for the Union that promotes four one stars to two stars. Keyes, Sumner, Porter and I don't remember the other one. You may not have noticed it happen.

Thanks. Was thinking it was Kearny, but wasn't sure.
