Bradley-the "doughboys' general

The Germans know this simple,
kindly lieutenant general as a mas

in the climactic battle of North Afri-

moniously out of the mountains in
the epic 38-day conquest of Sicily

tied by the need for communica-
tionS to the deck of the flagship
U. S. S. Augusta-birthplace of the
Atlantic Charter-off the French
coast, but before the Western Eu-
rope front opened he indicated he
would move right in with the troops
at the earliest possible moment.
1t is a tribute to Gen. Bradley's
proud record as a teacher as we'll as

direct this momentous engagement

officers as head of the Infantry Of

He also has trained more shave
tails" than any other United States
general officer, for Fort Benning
graduated second lieutenants at the
rate of 10000 a year under the
methods which he supervised.
Gen. Bradley is known as the
"doughboys general because he Is
sparing of the lives of men under
his command.
But he is tough, knotty fighter
with tenacious, sledgehammer per-
sistence, and shrewdness, but with
personal dignity and integrity.

Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's class
of 1915 at West Point and 1t was
Gen. Eisenhower who gave him his
first chance to show what he could
do in the field in North Africa. He
responded with the smashing offense
that captured Bizerte.
Gen. Bradley Is not one to under
rate the enemy. OF the German he
says: Cunning and unscrupulous-
