The purpose of this paper is to present three somewhat disparate results on free objects in three different classes of λ-groups. The first is that no proper ideal of a finitely generated free vector lattice can itself be a free vector lattice. Second, each free abelian lgroup is characteristically simple. The third result is that each disjoint subset of a free (non-abelian) lgroup is countable.
