Description

Two influential American generals prepare for postwar assignments

Vintage matte-finish 14 x 11 US Army photo of Omar Bradley, Matthew Ridgway, and Secretary of Defense Robert Lovett engaged in a discussion, signed in the lower border in black ink by all three. Army caption on the reverse, dated May 21, 1952, states that Ridgway is enroute to Paris where he will assume his duties as the Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe. In very good to fine condition, with scattered creasing to image and borders, and a bit of light silvering to a few darker areas. Ridgway would serve as commander of NATO for a little over a year, with Bradley being one of his biggest supporters during that time. RRAuction COA.
