Description

Leading U.S. Army general in World War II. In his 36-year Army career, he was an advocate of armored warfare and commanded major units in North Africa, Sicily, and the European Theater of Operations. Many have viewed Patton as a pure and ferocious warrior, known by his nickname “Old Blood and Guts,” a name given to him after a reporter misquoted his statement that it takes blood and brains to win a war. Vintage ink signature, “G. S. Patton, Jr.,” on an off-white 5.5 x 3.75 album page. In fine condition, with a few scattered light wrinkles and creases. R&R COA.
