Bill, I agree. But you could include in the "good" generals, Matthews of 2nd Div.,Hoffmeister of 5th Arm'd Div., Dan Spry of 3rd Div.

I guess it's easy to sit back and be an arm chair general 65-70 years later, but he wasn't well liked at all by the troops & had a great opinion of himself Which may not be all that bad,I guess you could call it confidence but made his boo-boo at Verriers Ridge when he wouldn't listen to the Commander of the Black Watch & as a result they got slaughtered.
