Removed from duty and demoted in rank, it was later thought by some historians that he may have been scapegoated by his superiors. Fountain pen signature, “Autographed by request. Walter C. Short, Major General, USA. Ret.,” on an off-white 5 x 3 card. In fine condition, with a couple of light creases and light overall toning. RRAuction COA.
